Team Selected to represent Dundee City Disability Sport at the first Scottish Disability Sport Junior Sports:Hall Athletics Championships.
Youngsters from Schools across Dundee were at the Lynch Sports Centre over the last two weeks to secure a place in the Dundee team at the first SDS National Junior Sports:Hall Athletics Championship on 6 March 2007 at Stirling University.
The selected team, made up of 5 Athletes with a Learning Disability and 5 Athletes with a physical and sensory Disability, come from Claypots Castle and Kingspark schools.
The "Fun in Athletics" event was organised by the Disability Sports Officers, Leisure and Communities in partnership with Dundee City Disability Sport, and DCDS received a donation from Scottish Disability Sport to host the trials.
Over 60 Children took part in the trials and 10 youngsters were selected.
Eileen Ramsay, Chairperson of DCDS said "Hopefully this event will motivate some, if not all young people, to take part in the Tayside Track and Field Championships in June and the Discovery Games in September. Good luck to the athletes selected to represent Dundee in the National Junior Sport:Hall event.
