Coaching for U8s, 10s and U12s recommences this Monday from 6.30pm -7.30pm back on our own pitch. We are hopeful that anyone who has not attended the earlier sessions will now join us at our own field at High Street, Derramore, and Bessbrook.

Coaching Course
The Level 1 coaching course continued this week in beautiful sunshine. The participants from the Derrynoose, Inishkeen, Queen Maebh and Craobh Rua clubs all thoroughly enjoyed the course. Ulster Council course tutors Karol Mc Quaide from the Tír na nÓg club in the Moy and and Rónan Mc Williams from the Armagh Cú Chulainns club provided some very useful insights and engaged the coaches in a wide range of learning relating to young people, the skills of our game and the development of both. The next stage is for the coaches to be assesses in situ at their own clubs while delivering their coaching sessions and this will take place over the next few weeks. The club wish to convey a big word of thanks to Rónán and Karl for their assistance with this very worthwhile course – leaids, go raibh céad maith agaibh beirt.

Under 6s will be commencing soon concentrating on the elements of coordination, balance and agility – and above all fun!! Anyone interested in getting involved should contact Joe Mc Eldowney or Micheal Bradley who are coordinating the activities.
