Our youth coaching sessions have proved to be very successful for over 25 years with an average of 180 boys and girls each week aged P2 to S6 progressing from basic skills to playing for our U-14, U-16 or U-18 teams, and then on to the senior men's or ladies teams. We have had successful U-16 girls and boys tours, popular summer camps in August, and have taken U18 Boys teams on tour to Holland twelve times since 2004.

Members of our youth section have been selected for Scotland squads at U16 and U18 level and several have also gone on to win U21 caps. In 2016 our U-16 Boys won the Scottish U-16 Cup and in the summer of 2022 we had six members playing for Scotland youth teams - 4 girls and 2 boys.

Coaching is held at the RGC astroturf pitches on Countesswells Road AB15 8AR. Our coaches attend Child Protection courses and hold PVG certificates. Sticks are available for use at the sessions until your child has one of their own. Children are welcome from any school.
