With strong beliefs on encouraging our youths, in East Kilbride, to enjoy and further their fitness and skills in a club where our coaches are trained to all the relevant standards .
The club motto is "a priori" or "based on what went before", as a reminder of the original club, the two founding modern teams and the other clubs which joined during 2011 and 2012.
