HPST Policy

The policy of the Sports Trust has been to work in partnership with local clubs to improve the delivery of junior sports coaching. In 2004-05 the club ran one youth side at Under 17 level. In season 2008-09 the Club now runs 5 Boys sides and 2 Girls sides as well as two further teams at Adult level. This dramatic progress led to the club being awarded the SFA ‘Community Club’ Award – only the second club in Scotland to achieve this prestigious status. The Club also won the McDonald’s ‘Grassroots Club of the Year’ Award for 2007-08 awarded at a Gala reception at Hampden Park.

The appointment of a part time Football Development Officer by the Highland Perthshire Sports Trust has been a major catalyst in this success and we highly value our partnership with Breadalbane Strathtay Youth Football Club and all the local schools that have actively participated in our football coaching programmes
