Today is Debut Day for our U8 and U10 girls footballers

On Wednesday evening next, August 13th, we have two girls-only games at U8 and U10 levels, versus Shrule-Glencorrib, in Glencorrib at 7pm (note time is changed from 6pm). Meet in Glencorrib pitch at 6.45pm. If you have transport issues, contact Declan O’Loughlin on 087 206 3863. If you haven’t received a text about this match, and feel you should, can you email your name, the child’s name and date of birth, and your own mobile number to secretary.ballinrobe.mayo@gaa.ie This game is being played under the auspices of our club, rather than ladies football, as neither club is affiliated to the ladies football organisation. However, our aspiration is to become a fully-fledged ladies club next year. Please make a special effort to be there as it will be the first time we field girls-only teams for perhaps ten years. Special thanks to Mary Langan for organising the game. It’s a Debut Day for a lot of young players in our club so it’s important to make it memorable for them: we are making a big effort to get parents/guardians along. Bring your cameras. We will be contacting parents/guardians with final arrangements in next couple of days. Here’s how we have done Debut Days in the past. And video of our Saturday morning Academy here:

Ladies football training goes outdoor

This Saturday, Ballinrobe’s young ladies footballers will have their first outdoor training session of the year – it will be at Flanagan Park, Ballinrobe, at 9.30am. Girls up to the age of 12 are invited to take part. The girls will train separately from the boys, who are also training at 9.30am. Parents are reminded that children should wear warm clothing. Drop-off and pick-up is at the dressing room area in Flanagan Park, rather than outside the entrance gates. The girls have been training indoors at Lakeside Sports & Fitness Centre in recent weeks and are now venturing outdoors for the first time – this is all part of a drive to re-establish a ladies football team in the town. Please forward this notice onto anyone you feel might be interested in sending their children along.

It will continue next Saturday at 9.30am in Lakeside Sports & Fitness Centre. All are welcome. Please tell your friends. A fee of €1 per child is charged to cover the cost of hiring the venue.

Ladies football training on March 22nd @radiomidwest, @mayogaa, @ladiesfootball

The effort to form a ladies football team in Ballinrobe will continue apace on Saturday, March 22nd, when a training session will be held at Lakeside Sports & Fitness Centre, for girls under the age of 12. This follows a recent meeting at which the possibility of establishing a club was discussed. This indoor session will introduce girls to the skills of ladies football and it is hoped it will be the precursor to a club being formed in the near future. To take part, simply turn up at 9.30am on March 22. Parents are asked to assist on the day. More information at www.ballinrobegaaclub.com.

Ladies football meeting

Ladies football meeting A meeting with a view to reforming a ladies football club in Ballinrobe will take place on Thursday, March 6th, at 8pm in Maple Youth Centre, Bowgate Street.

Anyone interested in this initiative is invited to attend the meeting, which starts at 8pm. If you are unable to attend, but would like to be kept informed of developments, please email secretary.ballinrobe.mayo. A representative from Mayo ladies football county board will attend the meeting to outline the stages involved in establishing a club. NoticeReFirstMeeting.docx
