With two weeks to go until the CPISRA World Games, Scottish Disability Sport is delighted to confirm the full team to represent Scotland. The Games will take place in Sant Cugat, Spain from the 6 – 12 August 2018.
As a member of the Cerebral Palsy International Sports and Recreation Association (CPISRA) Scottish Disability Sport has a longstanding tradition of competing in the event having been most recently represented in Nottingham in 2015.
The event is seen as an ideal opportunity for aspiring world class athletes, with Cerebral Palsy, to compete in a high performance multi-sport event. This type of experience and exposure is essential on the athlete journey, prior to selection for more high profile competitions, such as the Paralympic or Commonwealth Games.
Scotland will be represented by 18 athletes in the sports of athletics, boccia and swimming.
Gary Fraser, Team Manager, said: “We have been working closely with our partner SGB’s to select a team of athletes that are on an upward trajectory within their sport and can use this event as a spring board for future success. Preparations are going well and we have a great team of support staff and coaches”
