Under 12 Club Coaching Week

This year we are proposing to do a number of structured club coaching sessions within the 40 clubs in Derry.

We are going to begin with the “Under 12 Club Coaching Week”

The week will run from the 30th March to the 5th April. This is a month before the Lynco Outdoor Go Games begin so it will be a starting point for some teams and a fresh face for others who have been coaching and playing games over the winter. The clocks will have changed by then so we should have enough light to go in the evenings from 5 / 6 pm if it suits and at the weekend.

During the week we hope to deliver a coaching session with every under 12 football and hurling team within the County. For this to be a success I would like all the coaches and any helpers to attend the club session which will hopefully give them some new ideas.

In order to timetable every club into the scheme, I would like you to email me when it DOES suit to run the session. It is going to be difficult to agree the time everyone wants as we only have a limited number of coaches therefore if you email the day and times that do suit and those that definitely don’t suit it will be easier to timetable. I will let every club know what their slot is at least a week in advance so they can make the arrangements with the children, parents and venue.

Please get the details to me as soon as possible (ccollins@derry.gaa.ie) so there is no delay with this scheme. If you are a dual club i.e. Under 12 Football and Under 12 Hurling you will get two separate days.

We will be running similar weeks later in the year for various age groups also.
