In July 2013, Scotland Taekwondo is preparing a training camp in Edinburgh, Scotland, which will last three days. “This will be another excellent opportunity for our players to receive some sport specific intense training focused around sparring” continued explaining the National Coach.
According to the organization committee, this event will not generate financial benefits, because as they expressed: “We do not make any profit out of these camps. Our only intention is to bring coaches and players to one place and have a great time trying to make the way we practice sport Taekwondo as effective and productive as possible.”
The Training Camp will begin on the afternoon of Friday July 26 and will be completed by the evening of Sunday July 28. Registration fee will include: accommodation, food, hall hire and electronic equipment costs. Edinburgh airport is the best option to fly as it is located near the venue. The deadline for registration is June 28, 2013.
