Hi everyone

We are working with an external group to help us deliver a winter multi-sport programme at the club for all primary school aged kids but we will need your help to make it happen.

The proposal is that BCSDN will come in for three Friday evenings on December 11th / 18th and January 8th at 6.30 to deliver CSN multi games training for our coaches along with Heart Start Training. We will then take what we’ve learned and BCSDN will help us to run the multi-activity programme for our kids starting in January for 7 weeks.

To make the coach education and then the programme for youngsters work we will need enough volunteers to support the u7.5 (Primary 1 - 3), u9.5 (Primary 4 and 5) and u11.5 (Primary 6 and 7) groups.

Whilst we would ideally like those who commit to attend every week, if we have enough volunteers then there should be plenty of cover to allow flexibility.

This programme was run 4 years ago based in the JADE and had a great impact on our coaching and the quality of the sessions we were able to deliver. We are keen to repeat that experience for everyone. Unfortunately due to Covid restrictions the programme will be run “outside” at the football club on the training pitch.

If you are in a position to help out, please contact Martin O’Rourke, Shane O’Neill or Ray Harris. It is important that we gather the names of all those interested as there is a limit on the number of coaches able to attend.
