Monaghan Camogie News

The ulster Camogie elite camp

Well done to Rachel Markey Castleblaney and Karen Boyle Clontibret who have been selected to take part in the above camp,
The camp is for the Best 90 – U15 Camogs and Ladies Footballers in Ulster.  It is funded by the Ulster GAA Council as part of its ongoing Integration Program and acts as massive stepping stone for underage development at such a crucial time in a player’s career.
The players are put through an intense programme by the Sports Institute Staff, the Ulster GAA and Camogie Coaches, they get to make use of the superb facilities at the Institute including the new Strength and Conditioning department and 3G indoor Pitch.
The Programme the players undergo includes:
ò    Nutrition/ Hydration and Lifestyle Management
ò    Movement Competencies and Core Stability
ò    Injury Prevention, Dynamic Warm-up and Flexibility
ò    Fitness Testing
ò    Skills Assessment and Development
ò    Small and Full Sided Games under Heart Rate Monitoring
ò    Leadership Skills
ò    A Talk from an Invited Speaker

 “”The Programme the girls receive is superb; basically they are treated like a professional athlete for 2¢ days.  The coaching and experience is second to none, I’m not saying it’s easy for the girls because each evening they are completely drained.  It’s a great opportunity to see what it actually takes to get to the top.  No one is saying you have to go through the camp to make it as an Inter-County Star but it certainly will not hinder you.””
