Regional Squads

The South West Regional Squads include players from Dumfries & Galloway, North Ayrshire, East Ayrshire, South Ayrshire, and South Lanarkshire.

Regional Squads give players identified at local and development squad level an opportunity to receive high level football coaching and an introduction to sports science, including fitness testing, nutritional and hydration advice, sports psychology and lifestyle management.

The squads are delivered in partnership with the Scottish Youth FA and the Scottish Schools FA, and are designed to help players to develop to their full potential.

Parents are essential to the success of the programme, and are involved throughout.

Girls Regional Squads

Girls Regional Squads operate at U15 and U19 level, providing a pathway to selection for the National Teams. 

The girls Regional Squad have completed their first block of 14 sessions and performed very well at the recent two day National Camp at Tulliallen.

The second block of sessions are due to re start on Wednesday 25th August 2010.

Boys Regional Squads

Boys Regional Squads operate at U13 and U14 level, and explore the potential of players who are not registered with senior clubs. 

Both squads have recently enjoyed the two day residential camp at Stirling University.  This was the concluding part of the 18 month programme for the 1996 group.  The 1997s will now look forward to the next three months programme leading up to christmas.
