Monaghan Coaching & Games staff arranged a mini sessions initiative over the month of May for our clubs/players. The coaching staff put together a 4-week program for all children aged 9 – 13. ​The aim of the program was to set a structure in place for the kids to work on their skill development at home. This was also a great way to keep a structured routine for the children and also a great way for Monaghan Coaching staff to stay in touch with the clubs and reward skill development. The type of challenges​ that the players where asked to take part in were as follows;  Fundamental Movement Skills , Football & Hurling skills​, Time trials​, Target challenges​ and using both sides of the body (left + right)

Monaghan Coaching staff would like to thank all the clubs, parents, players who assisted and took part in the initiative.
