Sports Club
To serve the sporting needs of the
community
Larbert, Stenhousemuir, Carron and
Carronshore
Background




Larbert High School is the largest within the authority with authority with
approximately 1800 pupils. Only a small percentage of the pupils are out
with walking distance
Stenhousemuir Football Club are a Community Interest Company (CIC)
with an extensive community football programme
The Larbert/Stenhousemuir locality is the fastest growing area within the
Falkirk Council. There are only a few small areas within the locality which
fall into the SIMD category; the area itself is therefore reasonably affluent
There is also a great history of sport within the area with 3 large local
sports clubs- Stenhousemuir Football Club, Stenhousemuir Cricket Club
and Tryst Golf Club. It became clear there was an opportunity to link the
local clubs to the school to the benefit of all school pupils in the area (both
primary and high school) through the creation of a community sports club.
The Tryst Community Sports Club officially started in October 2010
What is a sport hub
•
A sport hub will encompass a number and variety of sports
clubs with one central base (Larbert High School) allowing all
individuals of the local community to access sport for
recreational purposes. The sports hub will provide sport for
all individuals regardless of race, gender, religion or ability
and will aim to meet all the sporting requirements of the local
community which it serves
•
Sportscotland support the idea of a sports hub as part of the
legacy for Glasgow 2014
•
The TCSC is the FIRST Sports Hub in the Falkirk area and 1
of the first in Scotland
