Kellogg’s GAA Cúl camps

This year there are some exciting changes to the kit, with a stylish new half zip top and T-shirt replacing the original jersey, togs & socks. The backpack is still part of the new kit, while the cost of attending the camps remains the same as the last number of years. On-line registration is now available and we would encourage parents to use this method of registration if convenient as it greatly helps with assigning coaches etc to the camps. Standard application forms will be available through the schools from next week.

The following are the dates and venues for the Kellogg’s GAA Cúl camps 2015 in Leitrim.

06/07/2015 – Manorhamilton, Ck-on-Shannon, Ballinamore & Mohill

Goalkeeping has always been an important position on any team but in the last while, a new emphasis has been put onÓgoalkeepers to be the extra link with his outfield players and not just a shot stopper. With this new emphasis onÓgoalkeeping, Leitrim GAA coaching and games have invited two of the Countries top Goalkeepers, former Longford goalkeeper Damien Sheridan and current Offaly goalkeeper Alan Mulhall  to present a workshop entitled “Coaching Goalkeepers”. The workshop is open to all coaches and to any goalkeepers who wish to attend and will take place in Allen Gaels GAA Centre, Drumshanbo at 7pm on Thursday evening May 7^th. We would encourage as many coaches and goalkeepers to attend.
