The Regional Academy programme supports individual curlers from the age of 14 and up, who show excellence in curling.

The support staff in the following areas, Ayrshire, Galloway, North West and South West will gain additional assistance with the recent appointment of Rhona Martin as Apprentice High Performance Coach. Rhona will provide assistance to the Technical Directors and Coaching staff in these areas.
