*** Respond to Teamer Invitations for all Training and Matches. We will use Teamer for all events, for the moment, to help us plan training groups and the required mentor cover. If your player's availability changes at short notice before a match, please inform the group Lead Mentor, Enda, by text-message. Once team lists have been prepared, we do not check Teamer again on Friday evenings / Saturday mornings.

Hi Boys and Parents! We hope you are all keeping safe and well!
As we shared with you this week in Monday's video message, it is looking very hopeful that we will be able to get back to some group training activities from 29th June, in line with the GAA's roadmap for phased Return to Play and with the government's plan for re-opening. This will be non-contact training for the moment, until the next phase, and we will be required to train in smaller groups and follow strict procedures before joining any group session. It will be different to how we are used to training - but we are looking forward to it all the same! It has been a LOOOONG break!!
In the mean time, we want each of you boys to start preparing for our return to play by working on some basic skills and on your fitness and strength.
We will share some skills you can focus on - which you can practice every day - to get our minds and bodies back in the game - and especially to get our confidence going again, working off both our left and right sides.
Below, also are some useful links which you should try a couple of times a week to get your body back in tune with some regular exercise . We all know, at this stage, how important strength and fitness are to help us keep our focus and to "stay in the game" in matches. You will recognise the material below as we have used it in training sessions before the break - with you guys giving it socks! Well done, of course, to everyone who has been keeping hmself going with his own skills work and exercise routine. Maith Sibh!
So, here goes ....
