The Talented Sport Performer Award provides all eligible athletes with funded access to all Glasgow Club gym and swimming facilities.

TSP's can also apply for a non-transferable £300 allowance to book facilities in Glasgow Club venues that support their training programme. 

Award decisions are made by a Glasgow Life Sport panel.

The £300 non-transferable allowance will be awarded based on the following priorities:

  • The need of the athlete.
  • The impact this will make on the development of the athlete.
