Youth Team
In 2010, after an absence of 12 years, Youth Kitted American Football returned to East Kilbride in the form of the EK Pirates Youth team. They competed in the BAFANL Youth league in 2011 and won their first tournament, but ultimately missed the playoffs. In their second year, they continued their development, but again fell short of playoff contention. That year saw their first youth player graduate to the local Lanarkshire Longhorns side.
In 2012, the Pirates increased their coverage in Lanarkshire by creating a second Youth team, the Hamilton Buccaneers.
