Could you be a non-playing captain of one of our international teams?

The Board has recently endorsed  new guidlines on the ROLE OF NON-PLAYING CAPTAINS

Have you got a balance of practical, technical, organisational and interpersonal soft-skills to manage relationships and communicate effectively with individuals, partnerships, teams and organisational bodies?  The ability to keep a level head and manage teams who are facing emotional pressures in high stake environments; a willingness to adapt strategies to the needs of the team, and the resilience to make difficult decisions that may upset players in the short-term for the good of the team; the ability to build a squad mentality in an environment where players will sometimes find themselves playing and sometimes on the side lines? Are you empathetic to the players and aware of their preferences.and able to create team cohesion and cooperation focused on improved performance and team wellbeing?

NOT MANY PEOPLE THESE QUALITIES!  But if you feel you have some of them and you would like to support our teams, I would like to hear from you.

Not all npc's have international playing experience but it helps to have been involved at some level. Also training and support will be provided for those with less experience.  All npc's must be qualifies for Scotland as their home NBO.

Please read the new guidelines and then email Mike Ash at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to express an interest or ask any questions.  I am very happy to set up a private Zoom discussion if that would help you decide if you are interested.

THERE IS NO CLOSING DATE BUT A NUMBER OF APPOINTMENTS NEED TO BE MADE BY JANUARY 2024.
