Scottish sport minister Shona Robison has pledged to create 'at least' 100 community hubs across the country by 2014 as part of a series of commitments to promote physical activity.

Other proposals outlined by Robison include the delivery of two hours of PE for all primary school pupils and at least two periods of PE for secondary schools pupils in S1-S4. A School Sport and Physical Activity Award programme and a £500,000 fund to encourage community ownership of facilities have also been pledged by Robison.

Meanwhile, the minister has pledged to provide a new National Indoor Football Centre and an associated National Football Academy. Robison said: "Major sporting events can stir our passions and rally a real sense of nationhood. But it is at a community level that we have seen the maximum benefits of sport being realised.

"Community engagement and development lie at the heart of our commitments and that is why we have made today's pledges on both community sport hubs and funding to encourage community ownership."
