Scott Nicoll

Scott carries out a number of tasks including working with local clubs and community organisations to establish Community Sport Hubs in Angus; helping develop Angus clubs and making them be the best they can; a sport specific remit including the organisation of development squads in swimming / gymnastics; national athlete support; club accreditation; coach education (organisation of CPD courses for volunteers); planning for holiday programmes and Sports Awards.

One of the main reasons he says he is in this role is the passion he has for sport. He said: “

“Sport has been a big part of my life and I’m now in a position where I can give something back to the community and try to ensure that there are opportunities for all in Angus, to encourage the local communities to take part in physical activity and sport. I enjoy my role and there is never one day the same with a wide variety of tasks, meeting clubs and seeing clubs grow and using sport as a tool to change lives which makes you appreciate the role you are in.”

Scott has been with ANGUSalive from the start (December 2015). He transitioned across from Angus Council where he started off in 2005 as a supply sports coach, before being successful in the recruitment process for the development assistant football role and acted up in the football development role until March 2015 where he then undertook the community sport role and is still here today!
