Primary School Coaching Programme Kildare

Camogie coaching (and hurling where schools are co-ed) is currently being carried out/commencing shortly in six Kildare primary schools in Newbridge (2), Athgarvan, the Curragh, Kildare Town and Monasterevin and is being received very warmly and enthusiastically! Feedback so far has been excellent, indeed some schools reporting that parents are woken early on the coaching days as the players prepare for the coaching! Local clubs have been very supportive also and have embraced the initiative.
