Supporting our young sports stars and future leaders
Inverness & Cromarty Firth Green Freeport is delighted to be supporting an initiative by the Camanachd Association to enable 43 pupils from Highland secondary schools to hone their shinty skills at the USA Girls Performance Camp.
The seven-day camp, taking place at Lawrenceville School, near New York, provides high quality shinty coaching as well as a rich cultural experience for participants.
Five Highland schools will be represented there: Ardnamurchan High; Kingussie High; Kilchuimen High, Inverness Royal Academy and; Portree High.
ICFGF Chief Executive, Calum MacPherson, said: “Young people currently growing up in the Highlands will play a critical part in the future energy economy of the region.
“As this fantastic initiative shows, there are no barriers to what this up-coming generation can achieve, given the right opportunities. These young people will be tomorrow’s leaders on and off the field.
“ICFGF is delighted to be supporting a scheme helping to create an equal playing field for young women in sports.”
