The aim of the programme is to develop technical, tactical, physical and mental skills as a player as well as promoting positive social skills and increased motivation towards academic progress.   Players are involved in daily coaching sessions for the three years of their school life, so must display a good technical standard to cope with the demand.  The option to study for a qualification in Football in S4 is an option as pupils move into the Senior Phase of their education.

The Girls’ School of Football share the same aims as the standard programme, providing a very similar programme and range of opportunities.
