Both the men and woman's teams compete in the top tier of the <a href="/wiki/Scottish_Handball_Association" title="Scottish Handball Association">Scottish Handball Association</a> league system. The club also has a thriving junior section that is coached by men's first team player Chris Kerr. The club also works closely with <a href="/wiki/Marr_College" title="Marr College">Marr College</a>, the local secondary school, and has been crowned Scottish schools and junior Scottish Cup champions on several occasions. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Troon_F.C." title="Troon F.C.">Troon F.C.</a><sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> is the senior football side in the area, representing the town in the <a href="/wiki/West_of_Scotland_Football_League" title="West of Scotland Football League">West of Scotland Football League</a>, and play at <a href="/wiki/Troon_F.C.#Ground" title="Troon F.C.">Portland Park</a>, close to the town's heart in Portland Street.

During this time they have had a few name changes, sometimes due to sponsorship commitments, but in 1998/99 season, they settled on Troon Amateurs Football Club.
