SKGB – Updated PHASE 4 documents Return to Sport and Physical Activity guidance 5th January 2021 (see attached document)
While everyone connected with the Scottish Karate Governing Body has been looking forward to the return of indoor contact sport, we understand the decisions taken by the Scottish Government for public health reasons. Recent figures serve as a timely reminder that the virus has not gone away and that we are still dealing with a public health emergency. We all have a responsibility to do what we can to help suppress the spread of the virus at this time. Continued progress through the route map is wholly dependent on everyone continuing to adhere to the latest guidance. The SKGB believe that Karate can be delivered safely and we will be working with partners including the Scottish Government, sportscotland and facility operators to work towards the resumption of indoor contact sport when we return to PHASE 3
The SKGB office have restarted processing new PVG applications and Existing PVG Scheme Member Applications. Please contact your association Chairperson for application forms.
The Annual General Meeting of the Scottish Karate Governing Body Limited which, due to the present lockdown restrictions has been moved, and will now be held by Zoom Video Conferencing on Friday 31st July at 7pm.
An invite has been emailed to all Association Chairpersons / Secretary to join the meeting.
If a member Association has not received the invite please contact the SKGB office at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
The SKGB will be holding a zoom meeting on women’s experiences of karate during and post pregnancy on Monday the 29th of June at 7pm-8:30pm. This meeting aims to bring together women karateka, or former karateka, who have experienced pregnancy during their time in karate, to discuss their experiences and help the SKGB identify ways to support our members during this period in their lives. This meeting is intended for women who have experienced pregnancy during their time in karate only (rather than those who were pregnant prior to starting karate).
If you would like to take part please contact Chloe Maclean, director of women and girls interests: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
To celebrate the brilliant women we have in Scottish Karate, take part in the SKGB’s women’s coaching week. Our aim of the week is to have as many senior graded women as possible having a shot at taking a class - whether that be a whole class, the whole week, or parts of a class alongside another coach. (Coaches please note if the women coaching in your class are not already SKGB approved coaches then an SKGB approved coach must be present to overlook the class.) Lets encourage and inspire Scottish karate’s next generation of women coaches! Please share photos of the week on social media to showcase our women in action, and send them to the SKGB Director of women’s interests: This email address is being protected from spambots.
