Sports Councils

South Lanarkshire Leisure supports the work of the four local Sports Councils within South Lanarkshire: Cambuslang and Rutherglen, Clydesdale, East Kilbride and Hamilton.

The Sports Councils are primarily voluntary organisations with the main responsibility of promoting interest and participation in sport and organising events and championships within their local areas.

The day-to-day promotion of participation of sports is carried out by the Sports Council’s Executive Committee which is appointed yearly at the Sports Council’s Annual General Meeting.

The Executive Committee consists of a Chairman, Vice Chairman, Administrator and Treasurer. Representatives of various sports clubs or organisations are affiliated to the Sports Councils, in addition to representatives of South Lanarkshire Council at both elected and officer level.
