Scots College – Learning. For Life.

Sport is a key part of the Scots College experience. The Covered Sports Centre will elevate the sporting potential for the College, providing a spectacular world-class indoor facility in which sporting skills can be honed and future sporting dreams realised, allowing sports programmes to continue irrespective of weather. The College has many talented young sportsmen and this facility will enable Scots to nurture this.

The stunning new Sports Centre will be at the forefront of building technology and will be constructed out of translucent polycarbonate sheeting, allowing a high level of diffused natural light and thermal insulation, and timber beams that will support the structure. Specialised cricketing turf will cover the entire playing surface. There will also be a new clay practice wicket in the playing field.

Inside there will be a four lane cricket practice facility with retractable nets allowing for multi-sport use at any one time and expansion of the training area to the entire playing space. The Centre not only encloses the current outdoor cricket practice area but provide an indoor facility to benefit other sports including rugby, football and hockey. PE classes will also make use of this purpose built facility that will double the indoor sport space available and all boys at the College will benefit from having a top class facility at the College.
