⚽ NEW 2013 ACADEMY TEAM ⚽

EXPRESSION OF INTEREST

We’re looking to add enthusiastic and motivated players to our brand new 2013 Academy Team at Ayr Thistle.

With many teams in Ayrshire already full, we believe there is a need for another team in Ayr to give young players the opportunity to continue playing football, develop their skills and, most importantly, enjoy the game.

Could this be you?

⚽ Are you struggling to get regular game time with your current club?

⚽️ Do you want to be part of a club that focuses on fun, games based training sessions?

🔄 Have you been released from your current club but still want to continue playing football?

👥 Are you looking for a new opportunity to develop and enjoy your football?

🗓️ TEAM DETAILS

⚽ Games: Saturday
🏃 Training: TBC
📍 Location: Ayr

At this stage, we are simply gauging interest to see if there is enough demand to get the team up and running.

If you’re interested or would like more information, message the Ayr Thistle page or contact Daniel on 07575 844943. 📩

We are absolutely delighted to be supporting Ayr Boswell FC 2019s this season.🧡💙

This team holds a special place in our hearts as it's my little cousin Aaron's first football team. As proud as I am to see the Stro's Foundation logo on the front of the shirts, I know for a fact that if my dad was still here, it would have been Struthers Plumbing & Heating proudly displayed instead.

I know for a fact no matter how busy he was, My Dad would of rearranged jobs, worked late nights, and do whatever it took to make sure he was standing on the touchline watching Aaron play because It's exactly what he did for me when I was a boy.

We're honoured to be part of Aaron's football journey and wish all the players, coaches and families at Ayr Boswell 2019s a fantastic season ahead. ⚽💙

I'm sure you will be watching proudly from the best seat in the house Dad.

What a fantastic idea!👏⚽️

⚽👟 PRELOVED FOOTBALL BOOT TABLE 👟⚽

As a club, we’re proud to launch our new Preloved Football Boot Table — a simple way to support families, help the environment, & make sure every player has access to boots when they need them 💙⚽️

If your child has grown out of a pair of football boots that are still in good condition, why not pass them on to help another young player? & if you need a pair, please feel free to take one. Everyone is welcome 🙌🏾

By recycling & reusing boots, we can:
♻️ Reduce waste
⚽ Support local players and families
💚 Help our community grow together

The Preloved Football Boot Table begins after the Summer Break & will be available once a month during the 2019s Shoot Session, date to be confirmed.

A huge thank you to everyone already donating and supporting this initiative — together we can make a real difference for our young players! 👏🏽

A massive well done to Newton Primary school who have been crowned Scottish National Primary Schools Handball Champions! 🏆🎉

With funding from Stro's Foundation the school bought 2 Handball Goals, 15 Handballs and ball pump.

The Girls handball team was able to train twice a week to prepare for the Scottish National Primary Schools Handball Competition which they qualified for in September. The team won all 7 of their group's games against primary schools across Scotland. From this, they finished 1st place in their group and sent them automatically to the final. Amazingly after a fierce final, Newton Primary School became National Winners after winning their final 6-4. For such a small school to achieve this national success is incredible!

A massive well done to everyone involved, what an achievement!🧡💙
