Elite Development Roadshow Complete

The Ulster GAA Elite Development Roadshow came to a conclusion last week when staff from Ulster GAA hosted girls from Derry, Antrim and Down in St Marys University, Belfast.

The camp in St Marys was the final of three camps held around the province over the past few weeks and almost 90 talented 15year old girls from all nine counties were treated to some expert coaching and tutition from the Ulster GAA staff.

Sessions throughout the camps included workshops on Nutrition and Hydration as well as information on Lifestyle Management, while on the practical side of things the girls were put through their paces in strength and conditioning, skill development, felixbility and fitness testing.

Speaking at the final camp one of the participants said “Today was brilliant. Im wrecked cause weve done so much, but Ive learnt loads!”

Sheena Kelly organiser of the Roadshow said “This years camp was pretty intensive, but we wanted to make sure that the girls were getting a full programme to help them work on all aspects of their football. The girls have worked really hard over the three days, but hopefully theyll take something from it and it will help them develop as players.”
