Fun Weeks
The
Newry and Mourne Grassroots Development Road show eased to the end
of summer last week in Cullyhanna, South Armagh.
Together with
Nutty Krust the coaching weeks were experienced throughout Newry
and Mourne. 13 courses close to 400 children aged from four to sixteen,
utilised eight venues from Newry City Football Club to Kilbroney
Country Park.
This summer
we entered into what we hope to be sustainable partnerships with
local football clubs and community groups.
“By empowering
the community we can offer coaching to many more children and dually
encourage local volunteers to get more involved” said Malcolm
Roberts;
“Take
Cullyhanna for example. Although the numbers were small the children
didn’t have to travel to Newry to participate, which historically
has been a barrier.” With more coaches receiving Level 1 Awards
the pool of volunteers in expanding. Therefore the different programmes
the Grassroots Development Centre coordinate can grow.
And now summer
is over the schools will receive coaching both in curriculum and
after school.
