Saints Sport has secured a new sponsorship deal with local estate agents Rettie to support its popular Junior Saints holiday sports camps programme.

Run by the Children’s Services team at Saints Sport, the University’s Junior Saints programme offers a wide variety of sporting activities for children in the St Andrews area to get involved and be active throughout the year. The programme provides a family-friendly environment, supporting the diverse needs of students, staff, and local families by offering safe, enriching spaces where children can learn, grow, and thrive.

The Junior Saints weekly class programme offers a great selection of fun sporting activities to try throughout the year. Catering for tots (age 2), pre-school children (3-5 years old), and those in Primary and Secondary school, the programme sees over 430 children across the 24 classes each week. All sessions are led by fully qualified coaches who are supported by a number of student volunteers.

In addition to the weekly classes, Junior Saints also runs popular sports camps aligned with school holidays and in-service days. These camps range from multisport sessions to sport-specific camps and attract nearly 3000 children each year. If the schools are off, Junior Saints is on, delivering high energy, professionally run camps for children of all ages and abilities.

Rettie is one of the most trusted and well-respected names in the Scotland and North East of England property market. From city apartments and rural cottages to townhouses, prime country homes, and farms and estates, they deal with some of the most prestigious properties on the market but provide the same exceptional standards of service and value for money to all their clients. Rettie St Andrews office covers St Andrews, the East Neuk of Fife, Dundee, Tayside and Angus and can help you buy, sell, rent or let in the local area.

Saints Sport Assistant Director (Children’s Services), Claire Scott, said: “As a longstanding presence in the local property market, Rettie’s commitment to community wellbeing makes them a natural partner in helping Junior Saints thrive and expand. Thanks to Rettie’s support, we are able to enhance our resources and continue to grow the Junior Saints programme, reaching more families, enriching local communities, and providing even greater opportunities for children to stay active and thrive through sport.”
