Goalkeeping Academy for Underage Boys & Girls. – Bailieborough Shamrocks GAA Club:
Bailieborough Shamrocks are launching a goalkeeping academy for juvenile boys and girls. We have a proud tradition of producing excellent goalkeepers down through the years. We hope that our new academy will provide a platform for our juvenile kids to achieve great things as goalkeepers.
We hope to start the goalkeeping coaching in April. We encourage all managers of juvenile boys and girls from U12’s and upwards to put their goalkeepers forward for this. If you or your child is a goalkeeper and not currently playing with a club, we’d love to hear from you.
Due to the number of coaches helping out, we may not be able to take everyone who expresses an interest, but we will certainly do our best.
Anyone interested should contact John Woods on 086-3691213.
The coaches involved so far, along with John, are Mark Argue, Conor Gilsenan, Mickey Clinch, Stephen Monaghan and Alan O’ Mara. If anyone would like to help out with the coaching, all help will be greatly appreciated.
We wish the coaches the best of luck and hope it will be a great success
