Give Respect at Fermanagh Cúl Camp

Department of Education coaches Owen Mooney and Teresa McGirr have been actively involved in several areas during July. They have tutored on an Award 1 course specifically aimed at the coaches in Fermanagh working in the Cul Camps. Along with Peter McGinnity they organised a VHI Cul Camp Coaches In-Service day. This was a very worthwhile day as it provided the coaches with tips and pointers on everything from suitable games for differing age groups to group and behaviour management.

The next two Saturdays were used as the Theory element for the Award 1 Childrens Course for the Cul Camp coaches. Already this has proved to be a great way of offering the Award 1 child course as it provides coaches with on the job training and mentoring. They will all have had 3 practical assessments during the course of the Camps, with one assessment with the youngest children a specific requirement.

In Fermanagh there as been 5 VHI Cul Camps completed in Irvinestown/Coa, Kinawley/Belanaleck, Lisnaskea/Maguiresbridge, Derrylin/Teemore as well as a Hurling camp in Enniskillen.
