The Sports club will form the leisure sector for the YYI. The sports club will work with other sporting bodies and recreational institutions to fulfil common goals. It will work alongside other community group to foster relations. The initiative will be to bring people together through Sport. One such initiative that is currently being planned is to organise an end of summer football tournament for young people throughout Scotland. The Sports Club will play a vital role in uniting the different groups and fostering relations through sport.
In the Sports Department we have set out some aims which are:
1) To ensure opportunities exist for ethnic minority's for regular participation in physical activity and sport in Scotland.
2) To ensure opportunities to exist for every individual to enter sport and reach their highest potential limited only by their ability, drive and ambition.
3) To work alongside the Scottish Executives initiatives on Racism.
In addition to providing opportunities to participate and develop in sport, the Department also focuses on the training and development of sports coaches, the recruitment and training of volunteers for sport and the development of sports clubs within the City through the Dundee Sports Council.
