GAA coaching as organised by Wexford GAA resumes business at Piercestown N.S. on Wednesday Sept 16^th.

This year sees the coaching officers introduce a new programme ‘Introduction to Gaelic Games’.

This operates on the development of what the GAA refers to as the A, B, C’s (agility, balance and co-ordination) and the RJT’s (running, jumping and throwing). These basic skills need to be developed from the bottom up hence coaching is being offered this year by Wexford coaching to the following classes:

• Junior Infants
• Senior Infants
• 1^st class
• 2^nd class
• 3^rd class
• 4^th class

As there is no in school coaching on offer to 5^th and 6^th class at present,  a meeting was held with the local club St. Martin’s and alternative options are currently being explored. In the meantime, Rackard league for those interested in 5^th and 6^th class is taking off in full flight and mini sevens competitions resume at the end of the month.

For the purpose of the in school coaching where possible classes from 1^st class – 4^th class should have hurleys and helmets. Infant classes will be using bean bags and small indoor hurleys as supplied by the school and coaches. Should you require any further information, please don’t hesitate to ask.
