Andy M,
There is some great coaching being done at clubs up and down the country and we are delighted by the overall standard. For online coaching, we are going for the best we feel we have. I basically allocate students to these coaches, they give me an initial assessment of their student, then update me roughly once a month. They will also keep in touch with that students club coach to ensure there is no conflict or confusion for students and coaches alike. A lot of our students are fairly isolated geographically and don't have a regular local club coach. When this is fully set up, all juniors in the Scotland squad and fringes will have the opportunity of a top player helping them on a one-to-one basis.
