Aghagallon Mentoring Programme

St Mary’s Aghagallon GAC availed of a six week mentoring programme run out by DENI coaches Eoghan Gribbin and Conor Hynds.

The six week programme allowed coaches from the different age groups within the club to see the individual structures of a session for their age range. They were taken though warm-ups and the components within a warm up; they were also taken through a variety of skills using the Whole(Game) Part(Skill Development) Whole(Game) method.

The coaches were also taken through the various stretching techniques looking at both dynamic and static stretching and the importance of both and also where strength training might fit into the training and appropriate strength games to do with various age groups.
