Jamie and Andy became very well coordinated at a very young age so it didn’t matter which sports they chose when they were older, they were able to do them pretty well. Jamie had a 3 handicap at golf when he was 15 and Andy had a trial with Rangers youth squads at 14. Set4Sport is aimed at kids aged 3-8 because I reckon that from about 8, kids start to choose which sports they want to try. Up to that age, its usually the parents who are doing the choosing! My boys tried everything from pre school gymnastics to mini rugby to ice skating! A good mix of individual and team sports.


When I grew up, sport was a big part of my life. My parents were both sporty and played all sorts of ball games with me and my brothers. I was also fortunate to go to a school that off ered lots of sporting opportunities and I loved being part of school teams. Community clubs also played a big part in my upbringing. I loved being part of our local badminton and tennis clubs where I learned how to play the game by competing against kids and adults rather than being coached.


So I am totally sold on the value of community sport in terms of social development and that’s why it was just so wonderful to see so many kids on the tennis courts at Dunblane Sports Club during Andy’s homecoming visit!


What a brilliant day. What amazing support from the town! I know Andy was pretty much blown away by the whole thing , so thank you everyone who helped us celebrate!


If you would like to build upon our Olympic legacy and harness your children’s new found enthusiasm for sport, lots of advice and information can be found on the set4sport website (www.set4sport.com). Judy shares lots of ideas and common sense guidelines on how to get started and at the very least it will contribute to a healthy lifestyle, beyond that .... you never know!
