Scottish Touch Planning Day 2018
10 Oct 2018 @ 21:00 UTC
On 7 October 2018, Scottish Touch held a planning day in Dundee.
We had a great mix of players, coaches, referees, parents and committee members attend and the discussions were informative and full of positivity and enthusiasm.
We promised that we would share the key points with you from the day, and here they are! We have already put a survey out to get your opinions on the structure of Scottish Touch Series 2019, and will be seeking to get your feedback on a range of things over the coming months.
