COOLEY KICKHAMS

WE are delighted to announce details of an exciting new programme called Gaelic4Girls that will commence on Friday, 31st March. Gaelic4Girls is initially an 8-week programme aimed at increasing participation in Ladies Gaelic Football. The programme targets girls aged between 8-12 years who are not currently registered with a Ladies Gaelic Football Club.

Gaelic4Girls is focused on fun and participation, allowing girls to get an introduction to Ladies Gaelic Football in a fun and non-competitive environment. It will be held in club grounds every Friday evening from 6.30pm – 7.30pm. Participants are presented with a ‘gaelic4girls’ jersey and certificate at the end of the programme. Following the eight weeks, the girls will be encouraged to register with our Ladies Football club, and those that do will be integrated into the existing teams. A major highlight on completion of the programme is a Mini Blitz with other Leinster Gaelic4Girls sites.

This is the first Gaelic4Girls programme to be held in the area and all girls from Cooley and the surrounding areas are encouraged to attend and learn the basic skills of Ladies Gaelic Football. This is a great way to make new friends and learn a new sport! The cost for the programme is only €10 and should be paid on registration night on Friday, 24th March, from 7pm-8pm. For more information contact Anne (086-3397579).
