🔴⚪️2017’s Invitation ⚪️🔴

Our Lossiemouth FC - 2017 group is inviting players to join our squad.

This year, we won’t be holding an open collective trial process, instead, we will be inviting any interested players to join our current group for a handful of training sessions.

This way we get to see any interested players in the environment of our current fantastic 2017 group and take away the pressures of an open trial day.

Following a departure from the squad and the new season commencing after the summer holidays, we are actively looking to add an enthusastic player or two to our group.

Get in touch to find out more, we look forward to hearing from you.

A huge congratulations to Academy Coach Cameron Leil on reaching an incredible milestone of 500 coaching sessions 👏⚽

Starting his journey as a volunteer coach in the academy during the summer of 2022, Cameron has shown outstanding dedication, passion and commitment to his development. Through his hard work and enthusiasm, he has turned his volunteering opportunity into a coaching career within the Trust and is now delivering sessions on a daily basis across a wide range of programmes.

Throughout his journey, Cameron has worked with every age group and phase within the academy — from children as young as 4 years old right through to adult sessions — as well as playing a key role within our Just for Girls football programme.

Cameron’s energy, professionalism and willingness to continually learn have made a huge impact on so many participants across our programmes. He continues to develop his coaching knowledge and experience while progressing through the Scottish FA coaching pathway, and we are excited to see what the future holds for him.

A fantastic achievement and a milestone to be extremely proud of 👏
