Welcome to the sportMoray web site.
Sport Clubs are important for our community, providing health benefits, achievement, enjoyment or social integration. Our committee works tirelessly to try and provide support to our local clubs, whether by small financial support or a forum to find other means of support. We are always looking for more volunteers or new ideas to help us achieve our objectives.
What is sportMoray?
We are a voluntary body whose Executive Committee is made up of individuals from local sports clubs and groups. We provide a co-ordinating role in the development and promotion of sport in Moray. A huge number of individual and team sports are represented.
What does it do?
Our main aim is to encourage interest and participation in sport within Moray; to provide a forum for sports clubs and other organisations to meet and to discuss and assist their activities and development. We believe in 'Sport For All'.
What Service does sportMoray offer?

Grant Aid is distributed to local sports clubs and sports men and women to assist in obtaining coaching qualifications, attending coaching courses, travel expenses for quality events and purchase of certain equipment.
