Last Saturday saw over 140 kids and parents join together to improve the clubs knowledge on the importance of fundamental movements in our every day lives. The overall aim of the course was to coach as many parents about the importance of the basic fundamental movements and their importance in normal life. By doing this the kids will be learning from all club training sessions, their school PE and also at home with their parents.

The kids ages between 3 and 8 and their parents used the new state of the art indoor facility and on this occasion the kids got to see their parents being coached and put through tough drills to improve their running, catching and throwing skills. Each child then got 1 on 1 coaching from the parents.

Fergal Lyons as documented before is the most qualified coach in the country in this area and we now have had his expertise passed to all coaches and parents over the last few weeks. The enjoyment and great participation by all parents was there for all to see. Thanks to Fergal for the brilliant sessions to date.

The most important part of the session was at the end were the child and parents had a wrestling match practicing a few fundamental skills to see who went home with a bag of sweets! A lot of parents appeared too drained from their effort in the earlier session and lost miserably to the young hurlers and camogie players!
