The first of the pre-Christmas Level 1 Youth & Adult Coaching Courses will be in Fr Tierney Park Ballyshannon on the weekend beginning Fri Nov 22nd. The Award 1 course has been designed to take account of the different playing capacities that exist between children (up to 12 years), youths (age 13 – 18) and Adults (age 19+) and the competencies that a coach is required to display when working with each of the playing populations. Therefore, coaches can specialise in coaching the particular players that they are involved with. You must have completed a Foundation course before progressing to Level 1.
