What is the Gaelic Start Programme?It's a full 16 week programme whereby coaches will go into clubs and demonstrate good practice with children aged 5 to 8 years old. Children will develop their fundamentals and learn sport specific skills related to Gaelic Football, Hurling and Camogie. The programme is as much to encourage new volunteers / coaches to come and take part and develop as it is about the children.
Last week we offered the Gaelic Start taster Programme to Ballinascreen, 53 children took part in what was a really enjoyable few days for all involved. Thanks to the club for being as helpful as they were and to all the coaches from Ballinascreen who volunteered their time to help out.
From September we hope to run the Gaelic Start programme in it's entirety in six clubs before Christmas and six clubs after Christmas.
