The goal of this workshop is to cover the fundamentals of movement when coaching young players.

I think it is fair to say that anyone who attended our club Coaching Plan launch last night found Fergal Costello’s speech to be quite powerful. Not alone did Fergal summarise what he feels are pre-requisites for a club to be successful, but he also laid down some further challenges for our club. The fact that he had dissected our plan in great detail over the past week lent extra weight and credibility to his words. Anyone who knows Fergal knows he is an analytical and shrewd individual – and a man who led his club and county splendidly – and he certainly honoured the work of our coaching committee by assessing their work seriously. His full speech is HERE Actually, strictly speaking it’s not the full speech, the first 30 seconds or so are missing. Sound quality isn’t hectic either in places, so apologies for that. You don’t need a Dropbox account to open it – just hit download on the top right hand side and it will download to your hard disk, and you can play it from there. The full plan is available HERE More on the launch and the plan HERE Pictures from the launch anon.

All club members, young and old, and GAA supporters are invited to the launch in St Joseph’s Primary School, Ballinrobe, at 8pm. “The young members can come out for the launch, see our plans for the future of their club, and still be at home for the Late Late Toy Show at 9.30,” noted club chairman Alan Flannery. Four sub-committees and a steering committee have been working on the preparation of this plan over the last few months. The plan will contain over 30 recommendations that the club aims to fulfil over the next five years. “In this plan, we hope to set about improving football in our club at all levels. There has been huge enthusiasm within the club and I know that club members will not be found wanting in terms of carrying out the wide-ranging actions now proposed”, added Alan. “We are particularly pleased that Fergal Costello will be launching the plan. Fergal was a great servant of Ballinrobe and Mayo GAA and is universally respected within GAA circles. He enjoyed great success with Ballinrobe at school and club level, and Mayo at inter-county level. Even though he now lives in Kildare, he retains a huge interest in the affairs of Ballinrobe GAA club. Light refreshments will be served at the launch. More on www.BallinrobeGAAClub.com.
