Derry Coach Education Programme

I had said last week I would be sending out the Coach Education Programme for the winter, I have attached the courses on offer in a table below.

As of this year Croke Park have introduced a new online system for registering for courses etc. To register for any course below you must first open an account which is very easy done:

Go to: education.gaa.ie and register your new account from there. The GAA want to keep of record of people who are attending courses and trying to improve themselves, this database maybe used in the future as a means of gaining accreditation or acceptance for certain courses, so please let’s get all the coaches in Derry registered online asap and show our strength.

Once registered on the system you will be able to see what GAA courses are coming up right across Ireland so if there was something in particular you wish to learn you will easily be able to see if it is on the system.

The courses on offer below are an accumulation of some courses provided by Ulster Council and some from Derry Coaching and Games department. Please try and get out over the winter to further develop your coaching, it would be great to see large numbers at the courses. Most of these courses are FREE and will also be advertised on the Derry Website www.derrygaa.ie they’re may well be a few additional courses included along the way so keep your eyes peeled.

For any information or details on any course email me on
