CAS Elite Under 18 League 23-24

The Club Academy Scotland initiative runs age group leagues for a variety of age groups up to Under 18 level.

Clubs are arranged according to the quality of their Academy structure with ‘Elite’ being the top level.

The Under 18 Elite league contains eleven clubs this season, who will play each other twice for a 20 game league programme before a league split in March.

Hamilton Accies won this league last year, in doing so they qualified for the Domestic Champions path of the UEFA Youth League.

Games in this league are generally played on Fridays, often in the afternoon.
