The U6 Bridge ‘Bucks will be springing back into action on Friday week 11th May at Cappa Lodge. 

Training will normally be at O’ Garney park and the Astro Turf at the back of the stand but we will begin in Cappa Lodge field for the first night. There will be a new coaching team in place at U6 for the 2018 season and we would encourage parents to help out at the various stations that will be set up on training nights. The smaller the ratio between kids and coaches/parents the better to provide an environment where the kids can learn the skills of the game. We look forward to meeting your kids and empowering them with the knowledge and skills that will help them progress as hurlers into the future but above all it's the beginning of new friendships. We ask that parents attend the training sessions to help and encourage their kids in what can be a daunting new experience for them.

Membership for all U6 players costs €20 and can be paid oinline here

Over the next 6 months that we as coaches will spend with the stars of the future they will be taught:

1.       How to hold a hurley correctly

2.       The hurley Ready position

3.       The Lock grip

4.       How to swing the hurley

5.       The basic fundamental movement skills

6.       Intoduction to Agility, Balance & Co ordination

We will have some challenge games throughout the year and a big finale at the end of the season.

See you all Friday 11th May at 6pm sharp in Cappa Lodge and we would ask for all players to have hurley’s, boots, helmets and a drink so we keep all the kids safe.

Finally to help coaches get to know your kids can you please write your son’s name on hurley’s & helmets and if possible put a sictker on the back of the kids helmet with names so we know who we are encouraging

Bridge Abu!!!
