Highland Disability Sport

Highland Disability Sport (HDS) is the branch member of Scottish Disability Sport (SDS) who are the governing body for leisure and sport for people with disabilities in Scotland.

As a branch member, HDS co–ordinates all activities in sport and leisure in the Highlands. They arrange all the sporting activities Highland wide and encourage people to participate and compete, regardless of their ability or age, in various sports such as athletics, badminton, boccia, bowling, football, golf, swimming and ten–pin.

From our annual calendar of Highland–wide events we select teams or individuals to compete at the Scottish National Championships where many have enjoyed success.

Two Highland footballers were selected to represent Great Britain in the 2011 World Games in Greece, and they have just returned home with a silver medal in the ladies 5–a–side and a bronze in the mens 11–a–side.
