As part of the ongoing coaching development within the club, there will be a one hour session in Lakeside Friday 20th March at 6:30pm. The goal of this workshop is to cover the fundamentals of movement when coaching young players. This will cover agility, balance, running and jumping and provide a good grounding in how best to develop these skills in our young players.

Today is the first day of our new Robe Rockets section at Lakeside Sports Centre. Plenty of excitement, trepidation and the odd tear – and that’s only the parents. For many young people, this is their first time going to a club practice session. Hopefully it will be the first of many. Great turn-out of coaches and parents/guardians willing to help out. We will be indoors for the next few weeks before taking to Flanagan Park for the rest of the year. See pix and video HERE – sorry about the upside down ones. More being added throughout this morning. Listen HERE to club chairperson Alan Flannery welcoming young players, coaches and parents/guardians to the Rockets.
