What is Club Academy Scotland?
Club Academy Scotland (CAS) is the Scottish FA’s structure that defines, operates and partially funds the Academy system in this country, alongside a games programme. It governs the development of players from the age of 11 to 19.
Clubs are assessed against set criteria and a set of Measurable Performance Outcomes (MPOs), which take into account performance in areas like domestic and international appearances for home-grown players, coaching qualifications, facilities, talent identification and sports science and medicine set-ups.
Following the auditing process, the clubs have been streamed into the following categories:
Elite Level
PERFORMANCE (PROGRESSIVE) LEVEL AND PERFORMANCE Level
ADVANCED YOUTH Level
