Moray Squads

Selected players in four age groups - 10 years, 12 years, 14 years, 16 years are given the opportunity to receive coaching with members from other clubs throughout the year.

District Squads

Selected juniors from all over the Highlands are brought together with a top quality coach for special training- initially for the Inter District tournament played in the Easter holidays. This can lead to County and Scottish training for those with exceptional talent. It needs dedication and commitment from players and parents travelling to training sessions all over Scotland and competition in all parts of Britain and beyond.
