Coach The Coaches Hurling Session - Friday 17th Jan
The initial Coach the Coaches session at 8.30 - 9.45 pm next Friday 17th Jan is in the clubhouse. It will take place indoors due to variability of weather. The focus is Nursery to U12 age groups for both Camogie & Hurling. Padraic Tierney (Naomh Barrog) will be delivering the session.
Paraic has a wealth of experience both as a player & coach (from Juvenile to Senior level in both codes). >>>
The following will be covered:
1. Importance of ongoing mentor communication with parents including methods /tips to encourage children to practice at home.
2. Importance for child's social development through inclusion within sports.
3. The importance of drilling home the basics from the start (e.g from initial hurley grip through to safe blocking/hooking). Once technique is mastered, speed will follow with practice.
As the session is indoors, it may not be practical to have too many drills, however we will have a few demos.
