Welcome to our coaching section, it is the location on our website to assist parents/mentors in training and encouraging the young players to hone in on their skills both at training and practicing on their own at home.

Our very own mentor handbook is available here in PDF format

You will find a wealth of resources across a broad range of websites, the majority from an excellent site set up by The Dublin County Board called the Dublin Games Development Website. Below you will find links to drills explained via simple videos and instructions which can be printed off for reference.
