Gaelic Football Programme for Girls

-

Cooley Kickhams Ladies Gaelic Football club are delighted to announce details of an exciting new programme called Gaelic4Gir­ls that will commence on Friday, March 31.

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, commencing on Friday, March 31. Participan­ts are presented with a “gaelic4gir­ls” jersey and certificat­e at the end of the programme. Following the 8 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 at Registrati­on on Friday, 24th March 2017, from 7pm-8pm.
