Well done to the U-14 boys who had a big win on Monday last in Div 1 against St. Vincent's.
The U-6, U-8 boys and girls and U-10 boys returned to training last week in lovely sunny conditions with another huge turnout. Training continues every Thursday at 6.30.
We are delighted to see the large numbers of new kids at training and especially the new faces trying football for the first time, but this brings a requirement for additional coaches, particularly in the U6, U8 and U10 groups.
Any parent/ family member over 16 can become a coach, no experience in coaching or background in GAA is necessary. All training will be provided. The bigger the network of coaches we have, the better. There is no expectation that every coach will attend every week. There may be parents who would not be comfortable coaching but would be happy to help in other ways. There are plenty of options to volunteer; for instance put your name on the fruit rota, help on committee, help at the club shop when open for matches/ events, steward at events, volunteer to supervise at the ladies club fundraising disco.
I’m sure most of our coaches will agree, volunteering is hugely rewarding and can be a great opportunity for parents as well as their children to make new friends and learn new skills. It has been shown that when parents are involved, children will play for longer.
To those who already volunteer in some way, Thank You. For anyone who doesn’t but would like to help please contact Niamh MacCormaic.
