Introducing Katie Muirhead
Scotland and Great Britain Internationalist with 71 caps for Scotland and 13 caps for Great Britain.
I represented Team Scotland at two Commonwealth Games, competing at Gold Coast 2018 and Birmingham 2022. I was vice captain of the national team from 2022-2024 and captained Scotland at the European Championships in Monchengladbach in 2023.
Having attended HPC camps myself in my school days, I experienced first-hand the fun and professional sessions the HPC programme has to offer. The HPC academy provides a high-quality environment that challenges players technically and tactically while building confidence and game understanding. Bringing the HPC academy to Morrisons Academy is a fantastic opportunity to make elite-level coaching more accessible to the next generation of players in the Perthshire area
