Hi all, just wanted to up-date you all on the child conference in Sligo IT which I would encourage as many as possible to attend, especially coaches working with children up to U12 both hurling and football. Also please see our planned coach education courses for spring 2015. To inform clubs on the new FRC requirements on coach qualifications for 2015, I will send out the details to you all later in the week.
Child Coaching Conference
We would encourage all coaches working with children to attend this conference on Tuesday evening next in Sligo IT. The conference will incorporate a sit down and a practical session. The keynote address will be given by Paudie Butler and will look at the ABC/Fundamental development of the child. The practical demonstration will be hurling based but can be adapted for all gaelic games.
