The Founders

"The Founders"

In the winter off-season of 2001 four friends and training partners decided to give a name to themselves and their efforts, and the founded the

San Diego Black Sheep, Highland Games Team.

 

Since that time the Black Sheep have grown into a loose network of throwers, who support each other with coaching, equipment and encouragement.  Over the years, many athletes have come to the weekly practices in order to gain access to equipment and coaching, to see if Scottish Athletics are for them.

There are no dues, no entry forms or any other barriers to entry.  Simply show up to train and you are in the flock.  All equipment and other resources are the property of individual members.  The club owns nothing and has no formal legal status.  To sum up we are �Just a bunch of guys (and gals) throwing heavy stuff on weekends.�

The success of this model has been validated by growth and expansion. 

The most recent culminating point has been the founding of the Phoenix Chapter of the Black Sheep.

Our colors are black, red and white.

Our Tartan is the Black Stewart.

Our logo is a red and black ram�s head over laying a Celtic Dragon. 

The head faces forward representing optimism and determination.

Our motto: �I shall fear no caber�

Our primary founder, leader and coach: Robert �The Bull� Bullock

 Black Sheep Credo

Give their best and seek improvement.

Behave as model sportsmen.
