Members Strava Club

Category : News

It is a very frustrating time for all our referees, being unable to train as a group each Tuesday. It is still unclear when we will be able to do so. As such, we had a suggestion from a member to set up an association Strava club.

Strava is an app for your smartphone which allows you to track your fitness training, whatever activity that may be.  It was an excellent suggestion, and as such Barry Feery has created a club on the app for Renfrewshire Referees.

It could provide that extra motivation for you to go out for a run, cycle or a walk.  You can request to join the group using the following link:

https://www.strava.com/clubs/RenfrewRefs

Once your request to join has been approved, it will allow you to view members activity levels, leaderboards and comment to encourage each other.

If anyone has any issues just get in touch using the usual channels.

Happy training!
