Coaching Opportunities
The joint Level 1 coaching course held between Carlow and Wicklow County boards kicked off last weekend, with the first Friday and Saturday held in Aughrim and Annacurra. The final Saturday this coming week sees the course completed in Presentation de la Salle, Bagnalstown. Well done to the 15 coaches on this course and thanks to the venues for the use of facilities. This joint up approach between the two counties has proven very successful over the past two years.

Camogie4Teens revisits Wexford
Following on from the Camogie4Teens programme of 2017, Wexford camogie have decided to run the initiative internally within their county over the coming March and April. The aim of this unique program is to provide targeted workshops/course's for club teenagers. It should be seen as a great opportunity for clubs to retain players, recruit coaches for nurseries and get involved in the future of the club in other activities such as administration or refereeing in order to increase lifelong involvement. The Camogie 4 Teens program provides the opportunity for girls to get an experience of how Camogie operates outside of just playing. The programme has been outlined as below for 16-18year old players to register their interest for in Wexford
March 12th; Introduction meeting; Outline from previous group
March 19th; PRO workshop
March 26th; First Whistle Course
April 2nd; Player Lifestyle workshop
