Last night, Wednesday the 27th of February, Monaghan Coaching & Games in conjunction with Ulster GAA ran a very successful workshop for club hurling and camogie coaches.
The theme of the workshop was Coaching the tackle and Defensive Play through conditioned games. In total there was 21 coaches from 3 hurling clubs (Castleblayney, Inniskeen and Carrickmacross) and 2 camogie clubs (Clontibret & Castleblayney) in attendance.
All coaches seemed to enjoy the workshop. There is a further workshop planned to take place in April and it will focus on Attacking Play. A date, time and venue for the workshop will be finalised closer to the date. Secondly Kevin Kelly from Ulster GAA will be running a workshop next week in Lisnaskea and is open for Monaghan Coaches to attend. Details of which can be found below.
The workshop is open to all, and although it is based on Hurling/Camogie, it is very much applicable to both Mens and Ladies Football coaches as well.
