Scottish Club Youth Competitions
CountriesScotland
DateAugust – December 2015
Matches played10 matches

The Scottish Club Youth Competitions conference structures established for the 2015–16 season group clubs based on the development structures they have in place, the volume of teams they operate and results over recent seasons. The fixture programmes arranged by Scottish Rugby will guarantee blocks of 'club v club' fixtures in the autumn phase of the season.[1]

History

[edit]

In December 2013 Scottish Rugby launched its strategic initiative ‘Youth Rugby – A strategy for Schools’.[2] Former Scotland rugby coach Frank Hadden conducted the review for Scottish Rugby.[3]

In recent years youth rugby has had many changes in competition structure mainly based on the needs and wants of participating teams, some teams have thrived, some teams have struggled but change has been a constant and it is obvious that the current structure continues to be affected by; withdrawal of teams from leagues, weather, lack of competitive fixtures for some teams, a disjointed approach to fixturing, a reluctance by some to play on a regular basis. There is no doubt that the structure for youth rugby has reached a point where a radical change in approach is required to bring stability to our game.[2]
