A new coaching system has been launched that the Scottish Football Association says will revolutionise youth, sport and culture around the country.

 

The Positive Coaching Scotland programme is a partnership with the Winning Scotland Foundation charity.

 

"I believe this is the start of something very important," said SFA chief executive Gordon Smith.

"It's not overstating things to say we can change Scottish sport and culture. Its aims are high but budget modest."
