Scottish Women’s Football (SWF) want to ensure as many people as possible can play the sport that they love. There may be exceptional circumstances, occasions, and situations where the most appropriate team may be out with their usual age group. This is where SWF’s Player Dispensation Process becomes appropriate for SWF Member Clubs.

The following circumstances are where a young person may be considered for dispensation:

  • Geographical (travel) Reasons
  • Medical, Health & Wellbeing
  • Player Development Principles

More details and a guide to applying for dispensation can be found here.
