Dear parents/guardians,
Newmarket on Fergus camogie club are running a camogie academy over the Winter months for all players, current, past and future, for the under 16 and under 18 age groups. This will run every Sunday morning at 10am for one hour. Various venues have been chosen for this training, including Stonehall AstroTurf, Clonmoney Astroturf and of course our training field.
The aim of this training is to significantly raise the standard of camogie at this age group, so we will be more competitive in the coming years.
We have a range of trainers lined up. These trainers will vary the sessions and give players different ideas and skills and techniques will be reviewed regularly. If one to one training is necessary, it will be provided.
As a club, it is imperative we keep the standard of camogie at a very high level as we have an outstanding record within the county.
Above all, the girls will have lots of fun creating memories and will become lifelong friends.
We will be setting up a WhatsApp group for all parents. If you are not on WhatsApp, we will be sending messages via regular text. If at any time, you do not wish to receive these messages, please notify us as soon as possible on 087-2256315.
