New sport organisation to support local players

A new organisation has been formed to help ambitious sports players fulfill their potential.

Sporting Club IOM is looking to support anyone in the local community hoping to reach top levels in sport to showcase their skills in a team sports system.

The group has already been behind the newly-formed FC Isle of Man, and is in the process of establishing new mens and womens teams for another sport for which it will release more details next month.

Those behind the venture say by creating new sporting pathways it can help grow and nurture the next generation of talent 'capable of excelling at elite levels'.
