We currently run regular teams at
mini, U14, U16 and U18 age grades. We
have run micro taster sessions and these
have been well received – this is an age
group we will be looking to expand next
season.”
Progression
“Young players are only phased into
the senior team when they have been
assessed as ready to make the transition.
Young players are initially invited to
train with the senior squad and following
further assessment they are promoted
into the senior squad if ready.
The club encourages supportive
relations between the youth teams and
the senior squad. Many senior squad
members help out with youth coaching
and both senior and youth players
frequently go along to support the teams
from the side-lines.
The Club have developed a number
of young players who are currently
playing rugby at a higher level. There
are four youths playing rugby age-grade
rugby at Premiership side Ayr RFC – one
of the top club sides in Scotland.
