We are delighted to participate in a coaching block of six weeks, which is kindly facilitated by Tony Walsh from  the Doheny GAA Club, Dunmanway.  Our first session was held yesterday on a beautiful sunny day. All classes participated.
All lessons are designed to meet the aims of the primary school curriculum.

Why should children take part in sport?

It may be obvious that children play to enjoy themselves and have fun, but there are many more reasons why you as a parent should encourage children to participate:
• Increased confidence – playing sport will provide each participant with confidence, and allow them to develop a real sense of achievement
• Becoming part of a team – children like to feel as though they are part of a team or group. It also challenges them to work as part of a group and to think of others
• Improved skills – participating in sport helps children develop a range of skills including balance, coordination and agility.
