Also in 2008 the club emabarked upon working with the Positive Coaching Scotland Initiative through their trial local authority of East Renfrewshire. Carrying out coach and parent workshops has enabled the kids to benefit greatly. The focus of this workshop was on how we could become better coaches, better parents and subsequently better role models for our children and community through our actions and behavior when we are with the kids. We have been one of the first clubs in Scotland to be involved with this and already it's having a positive effect upon our club.
