Easter camps
THE Aviva FAI Soccer Sister Camps are returning to six clubs in the Northwest this Easter.
Arrow Harps, Ballymote Celtic, Gurteen Celtic, Strand Celtic, Yeats Utd and Boyle Celtic are among the clubs nationwide hosting the camps during the Easter holidays.
Aviva is calling on girls between the ages of 6 and 14 years old to sign up and get involved.
Now in its twelfth year, the initiative is designed to give girls the opportunity to develop their skills, have fun, meet new people and stay active.
The Aviva Soccer Sister Easter Camps continue to grow with 140 camps taking place nationwide this year, up from 125 camps in 2017 when 3,400 girls participated.
The FAI and Aviva are expecting more than 4,000 registrations for this year’s camps which will run for two full days during the Easter school break.
They are open to all girls between 6-14 years old of all abilities and gives them a chance to learn the skills of football in a safe and fun environment.
The participants will enjoy an action packed two days of training provided by the FAI and each participant will receive a full Aviva Soccer Sister kit including a limited edition Soccer Sister jersey and a football.
At the end of the camp, each girl will be presented with an official FAI Aviva Soccer Sisters completion certificate signed by Irish Women’s National Team player, Katie McCabe and Colin Bell, Women’s National Team Head Coach.
The camps are running in Strand Celtic and Gurteen Celtic on March 26th and 27th, Yeats Utd and Arrow Harps on March 28th and 29th and in Boyle Celtic on April 3rd and 4th.
Tyler Toldan, who plays for the Republic of Ireland, said the camps are fantastic for helping girls fall in love with the sport.
