Connacht GAA Club Football Training Programme

Connacht GAA have organised a designated football training night for Connacht Club players based in and around the Dublin area.

Connacht GAA have launched a club players training initiative in the National Games Development Centre in Abbotstown. The Initiative aims to provide Dublin based club players from Connacht a designated football training night at the centre. This initiative was delivered last May on a 10 week pilot course and proved to be very popular for club players from the West.

As there are a great many club players from the province based in the capital the initiative will provide organised coaching sessions, once a week at the National Games Development Centre in Abbotstown for the players from the Connacht Clubs. It aims to assist the club player with an organised coaching session midweek when players are unable to commute home for their own club sessions.

The training schedule will commence on Wednesday 18th January 2017 and will continue every Wednesday, each session will start at 7.30pm and will last for ninety minutes. Each block of training will continue for 6 weeks. 

The cost for the 6 weeks is €50 

Registration will take place from 7.00 p.m. on Wednesday 18th January and players can join on any subsequent evening if they miss out on the first coaching session. Players may also register by contacting the Connacht Council office at 0949630335. 

The coaches on the night will be Brian Talty, the well-known former Galway player and Dublin coach, and Ciaran McDonagh, former Irish Athletic record holder, and a current Athletics and G.A.A coach. Other experienced qualified coaches will also be on-hand as support staff. John Tobin, the Connacht Provincial Games Manager, will also be in attendance to offer assistance.
