Fun run by the shore - December 26th 1pm

The 2012 Underage presentation night will take place in Aislann Rann na Feirste on this Friday night 21st. 
U-14's, U-16's and Minors are asked to be in the Aislann at 6.45pm and U-8's, U-10's and U-12's are to come along at 7.45pm (please note these are the correct times).

Michelle Nic Grianna will compere the evening and Donegal All-Ireland winning players will be in attendance with a short Questions and Answers session.

2012 was an outstanding year at underage level with the highest numbers of young children turning up since the club was founded in 1980. The committment of the coaches was another factor and Naomh Muire have certainly continued their growth at under-age level.

Friday night is a time to celebrate the year so everyone is more than welcome to come along.

Coaches within Ulster look forward every year to the annual Ulster GAA Coaching Conference. This year’s event will take place in the Glenavon Hotel, Cookstown, on Saturday 26th January.

The event over the last number of years which has seen Conference themes of ‘Coaching Children’ (2009), ‘Coaching the Youth’ (2010), ‘Coaching Adults’ (2011), ‘Coaching in the Education Sector’ (2012) and this year’s theme is ‘Thinking Coaches Produce Thinking Players’.

Key note speakers include former Ireland Compromise Rules and Meath All Ireland winning manager, Sean Boylan, who will bring to the conference his vast experience of working with elite players over a prolonged period and how his interaction helped the players to perform at the highest levels.

Dr Aidan Hamill, from the O’Donovan Rossa Club in Belfast, will address conference on ‘coaching and managing talented young people’. Aidan has coached at club and county level and has also been Principal of De La Salle Secondary School in the heart of West Belfast, which has produced many exceptional players over the past number of years.

Another key area to be explored will be finding the balance between rest and recovery. Tyrone Physiotherapist Louis O’Connor will advise on how to identify early warning signs of impending injuries and how to ensure that your players are protected against over training.

Delegates will have the opportunity to attend a series of workshops on critical development themes including the ‘Management of Players within Academies’, ‘Intensity of Hurling in Ulster’, a view of ‘Coaching Children’ from another sport’s perspective, ‘Getting your Club Hurling to the Next Stage’, ‘Developing Thinking Players’, ‘Technical Development in Hurling’ and ‘Coaching Female Athletes’.

Ulster GAA expect to host 350 delegates at the Conference and places are being booked out fast.

Delegate Costs are £15/€18 and include lunch and a delegate pack.
