Troon Community Sport Hub launches

The new Troon Community Sport Hub has been launched at Marr College School Campus in South Ayrshire.

Designed to support community sport and to increase the numbers of sports on offer locally, the centre is the latest to have been launched under sportscotland's community sport hub initiative - which forms part of the Scottish Government's 2014 legacy plan.

The hub initiative is designed to increase the number of people of all ages participating in sport in communities across Scotland.

Jacqueline Lynn, head of school and community sport at sportscotland said: "While we're engaging with our partners to develop community sport hubs, we ultimately want local communities to take ownership of them.

"The hubs will provide a 'home' for local clubs and local sport, so it is vital that communities are leading and managing them. Communities will always be at the heart of the hubs."
