Ulster Ladies ‘TEACH’

The Ladies Gaelic Football Association recently held a TEACH coaching course for teachers in Cill Iseal, Co Tyrone. The course was for school teachers interested in coaching Ladies Gaelic Football and all participants will be awarded with our FUNdamentals coaching certificate.  This is a key strategy outlined under the Coaching and Development area of the Association’s Strategic Plan is to increase the number of coach education courses and to train more coaches. This initiative aims to provide training and support to teachers, who impart valuable coaching services to many players.

To encourage participation, this course was only €20/£18 for teachers who participated and they will be provided with a certificate and also a resource pack of activities on the day.  This resource pack will assist teachers when they go back into their schools to use appropriate activities for their classes.

Nine teachers participated on the course and it was a very successful day. It is hoped to run these courses again in the future and teachers should utilise the opportunity when they become available as reports for this course were excellent. It is hoped to see many of these teachers now involved with ladies gaelic football in the near future.
