St Patrick’s Ladies Gaelic Football club have announced details of an exciting new programme called Gaelic4Girls that is commencing on Thursday, March 26. Gaelic4Girls is initially an eight week programme aimed at increasing participation in Ladies Gaelic Football. The programme targets girls aged between 8-12 years who are not currently registered with a Ladies Gaelic Football Club.
Gaelic4Girls is focused on fun and participation, allowing girls to get an introduction to Ladies Gaelic Football in a non-competitive environment. It will be held at St Patrick’s Football pitch Donagh every Thursday from 7.00pm to 8.00pm, commencing on Thursday.
On completion of the programme, participants are presented with certificates and a jersey for their participation. Following the eight weeks, the girls will be encouraged to register with our Ladies Football Club, and those that do so be integrated into the the existing teams. A mini blitz will also be held with another Gaelic4Girls site after the eight weeks and this is a major highlight of the programme.
This is the first Gaelic4Girls programme to be held in the St Patrick’s club and all girls from Donagh and the surrounding areas are encouraged to attend and learn the basic skills of Ladies Gaelic Football. This is a great way to make new friends and learn a new sport!
The cost for the entire programme is £8. For more information contact Siobhan McCormack (programme co-ordinator) on 07745005493
