NASSA CHAMPIONS 2025/2026

Thanks to all of the pupils who participated in a NASSA event this year. There were over 130 pupils who participated in one (and many several) NASSA events and contributed to us winning the overall title!

Thanks to all the staff involved and Mr McLean for taking this wonderful team photo.

As we draw this session to a close we just want to thank all of the amazing staff who help out every week running our EASA teams.

Local football club Thistle Youth Dons is looking for players to join their U14’s(2013s) for their upcoming 26/27 season in the B League.

A number of our pupils already play for the team and they are a fantastic group.

EASA ROUND UP 2025/2026

The 2025/26 academic year has been an outstanding one for our Ellon Academy Sports Association, marked by remarkable participation, impressive achievements, and a continued commitment to excellence across a wide range of sporting disciplines.

One of the standout highlights of the year was the incredible showing at the Scottish Cheerleading Championships. Over 120 pupils proudly represented the school, demonstrating exceptional dedication, teamwork, and school spirit. A special mention goes to the Level 2 team, EAC, who performed superbly to secure an impressive 4th place finish against strong national competition.

Football has also been a major success story this year. The S2 boys’ team enjoyed a phenomenal season, winning the North of Scotland Cup and finishing 2nd in the Aberdeenshire league. In addition to these achievements, they reached the semi-finals of the Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire cups, as well as the Scottish Cup—an outstanding accomplishment that reflects their consistency and quality throughout the year. The girls’ junior football team also had a fantastic campaign, progressing all the way to the final of the SPAR 7-a-side Cup. Their journey to the final showcased their resilience, skill, and determination, and they have set a strong foundation for future success.

Beyond team sports, we are incredibly proud of the many pupils who earned selection to compete at both district and national levels across a variety of sports. Their achievements highlight not only individual talent but also the strength of our school's sporting programme in nurturing high-performing athletes.

Participation has been a key focus this year, and it has been pleasing to see over 130 pupils represent the school in NASSA events. Across 10 different competitions throughout the year and across the local authority, our pupils consistently demonstrated enthusiasm, commitment, and pride in representing the school. Notably, the school secured first place in the netball, golf and basketball events, alongside very strong performances with close finishes in both the swimming and hockey competitions.
These collective efforts culminated in a truly exceptional achievement: winning the overall NASSA title for 2025/26.

This success is a testament to the hard work of our pupils, the support of staff, and the strong sporting culture we continue to build at Ellon Academy Community Campus.

Have a great summer and we look forward to seeing what next year brings!
