Magherafelt GAC Indoor Winter Coaching Programme

On Sunday Diarmuid Scullion attended the Rossa's underage training. Over 100 Children attended what was the first of they're indoor winter coaching programme in the Meadowbank Arena. Marty D, Colm, Ciaran and Diarmuid took the youngest 30 kids and put them through the Gaelic start programme and finished off with some games. For a number of these kids it was their first time to attend Gaelic football training and they really enjoyed the session. Also the interaction of the childrens parents throughout the session was very impressive and is surely an example for all clubs. Well done to Marty and his team of coaches involved with Rossa Ógs, keep up the good work!
