Dispensation 2023

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

These 3 areas will be balanced against the main pillars that the dispensation process is set upon.

These pillars are:

Fairness / Inclusivity / Safety

Please read the guidance before applying for dispensation: Dispensation guidance document
