Coach Education Courses and Workshops

On Wednesday 4th November well respected coach John Morrison will deliver a Coach Education workshop titled: “Child Development and Gaelic Football”. The course will be held at Swatragh GAC at 7.30pm. All coaches are very welcome to attend and the course is free of charge.

On Thursday 5th November the first Derry hurling coaching course will take place at 7.00 in Dungiven Sports Pavilion. The course will be on “Hurling Nursery” programmes for 4-7 year olds. This course would be ideal for parents who have children starting hurling and would like to get involved and for coaches who are working with young players. All welcome, £2 per head to pay for facilities.

As well as the CPD courses we are also running National Governing Body Awards. The next course is the New Foundation Award:

Fri 06 Nov: New Foundation Award @ Creggan, Derry City 7.00pm
Sat 07 Nov: New Foundation Award @ Creggan, Derry City 9.30am

Anyone wishing to take part must register with Chris Collins on chris.collins.gm.derry@gaa.ie as a matter of urgency. There will be a maximum of 20 allowed to participate on this course.

Once coaches have done their new foundation course which incorporates the child protection course they will be eligible to progress onto a level 1 course. The new level 1 course is as follows:

Level 1 Children award, details below:
