The 15s squad play in the Scottish Football Association Youth Initiative League. This league is designed to develop boys' individual skills and tactical awareness within a non-competitive environment.
Each game is divided into three periods of thirty minutes. Rolling substitutions are allowed to be made and each player will play an equal amount of time over the season. What this means is that a player might play two period in one game and one period in the next. Over the entire season players should have played an equal amount of time. Careful records are kept to ensure this happens.
Players also continue to experience playing in a number of positions. Although by this stage most players will have a 'favourite' position, the coaches will be looking at the strengths of each player and testing them in potentially better positions.
Sports science plays a bigger role at this age group. Boys are growing fast at this age and need careful monitoring. Players and their parents age given advice on diet and nutrition. Players are monitored on strength, power and flexibility and individual programmes are devised to correct any deficits.
Queen's Park youth players also have access to the first team physiotherapist Bob Findlay who will treat any injuries sustained throughout the season. The club doctor, Alan Hutchison, takes a keen interest in the youth teams also helps with diagnosis of injuries.
The 15s play against other senior clubs throughout Scotland. Under the terms of the SFA Youth Initiative League we are not allowed to report the scores of the matches. However we will provide summaries of matches highlighting the key points of progress the boys are making.
A number of games have been arranged for the 15s as part of their pre-season programme. Below is the list of the games arranged so far and the friendly matches played throughout the season.
