Scottish Touch Appoints Senior Touch Co-ordinators

31 Jan 2017 @ 10:45 GMT

Scottish Touch are delighted to announce the appointment of David Leslie and Sara Ebbett as joint Senior Touch Co-ordinators for national teams through the European Senior Touch Championships in Edinburgh to next year's European Championships in Nottingham.

              

David and Sara will manage training weekends for the senior squads, supervise the selection process, coaching appointments and overall strategy for senior touch over what will be an exciting 18 month period.  Both will bring to bear significant experience - David is a stalwart of the Aberdeen Touch scene, representing his region and Scotland at senior level, latterly leading the Scotland Men's 30s in Jersey; Sara has played at the highest level for Scotland, has coached and contributed to the success of a talented junior touch academy and has served for many years as Scottish Touch's Development Director.

Together, David and Sara will build on what was a successful senior campaign at the last European Championships.  The second Senior Touch trial and selection camp is hosted at Oriam, Heriot-Watt University on 18/19 February.  If you'd like to attend or have any questions, contact Sara at sara.ebbett@scottishtouch.org.uk
