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
