About Sport First


Sport First is our digital magazine for the sporting system in Scotland
where we tell the stories behind the structure.

Sport First was previously sportscotland’s flagship print publication, is now an online content hub.

A purely digital resource

We want as many people as possible to hear our stories. To know about what our staff, our stakeholders and our partners are doing to make sport a way of life across Scotland.

At sportscotland we want everyone in Scotland to have access to a world class sporting system that makes the best use of Scotland's assets and adapts to change and the same applies to the way we communicate that message digitally.

People and places

Ultimately, Sport First is not about sportscotland. It gives us the opportunity to tell stories about you, for you.

We have an exceptional range of facilities in Scotland, and we will demonstrate how those resources are being used by clubs, communities and athletes.

We go behind the scenes to tell you how the experts at the sportscotland institute of sport give athletes the support they need to take on the world’s best.

We introduce you to the coaches, volunteers, officials and participants who make sport happen in each and every one of Scotland’s schools, clubs and community sport hubs.
