Offaly Coaching & Games Workshop

Post date: Aug 31, 2012 10:53:6 AM

With the business end of the championships upon us and the Post Primary schools competitions beginning again, we will be running the following 90 minute workshop on attacking play and the best practice for coaching the games based approach to attacking play next Wednesday evening in O'Connor Park.

We invite all coaches from u14 to minor to adult to post primary coaches to attend in the hope of gaining some valuable knowledge to give your team the advantage and display the benefits of the Game Based Approach to Coaching. This approach follows the belief of setting up training sessions to mimic what happens in matches, so that players can make the correct decisions when faced with a similar scenario in a big game.
