All awarded athletes receive funded access to our gyms and swimming pools.
TSP's can apply for a £300 allowance that supports their training programme. This is non-transferable and can only be used to book spaces in our venues.
Award decisions are made by a Glasgow Life Sport panel.
We will contact your National Governing Body for supporting evidence. This evidence and your application will be use to make an award decision.
The following priorities will guide decisions on the £300 non-transferable allowance:
-
The need of the athlete.
-
The impact this will make on the development of the athlete.
-
The requirements of the sport the athlete competes within.
The TSP award activates when you return the award paperwork. This includes a TSP Agreement and Fair Usage Policy of Glasgow Club facilities.

The support has been incredibly helpful. The improvements made to my performances have been significant. In the last year I have become a Scottish Champion as well as representing Scotland at events across the UK. I cannot stress how valuable the support has been and how much it is appreciated.
