Simonstown are hosting an 'Introduction to Coaching Gaelic Games' course in the coming month.

This is the new course that has replaced the old Foundation Course. It includes both the theory and practice of coaching and will be facilitated by Jenny Rispin,Meath GAA.

The course is aimed at beginner coaches and will enable participants to teach the basic skills of the game through fun activities. In order to coach, it is mandatory to have completed this course. The course is also open to coaches who have already completed the old Foundation Course but want to upskill.

The course will run over 3 Thursday evenings in late April/early May.

The dates are:

Thurs April 20th (7-9.30pm)

Thurs May 4th (7-9.30pm)

Thurs May 11th (7-9.30pm).

The venue is the hall in St Oliver Plunkett NS.

There is no fee for the course.

If you would like to book your place, please send your name and email address to garethburns9@yahoo.ie

The course will be good fun and a great way to meet coaches new to the club.

Thanks,

Gareth Burns, Coaching Officer
