Broadford GAA Coaching and Development

Thanks to @SMBGAA for the invite last Saturday morning to the under 6 blitz. Also thanks to Siobhan Lynch for putting the clip together. Boys and girls had a super day. 🟢🟡🟢🟡

U7 hurlers had a great morning of action in Bodyke , thanks to Liam O’Grady Clare GDO for organising. 👌

Our under 11’s boys graced the turf of Cusack park on Sunday last before a huge crowd. A wonderful outing that will live long in the memories of these budding young hurlers. Massive thanks to the coaches for their time and devotion to the next generation. ⚾️🏒💚💛💚💛💚💛

A great insight for parent’s on how to integrate children into sport. Well worth 3 mins of your time!!

Todays 3rd & 4th classes blitz @BroadfordGaa @clonlaragaaclub @SOBGAA @BodykeGaa 208 kids in attendance

On the 25-27th of August last, @BroadfordGaa played out 3 adult championship games ranging from senior to junior. 55 players togged out for their respective teams which is a huge representation for our club. 👏 to all those who have coached down the years.

A great demonstration from @waldron_naoise about the strike. A longer video of slow motion is on his youtube (link attached). Really applicable from age 11-12 upwards.

youtu.be/ocu4e_8L4MU To all parents, an informative 3 min clip explaining the Hurley “swing”. A great resource for any parent to help guide their boy or girl who’s starting to play hurling. Applicable for all ages. 👍

Player of the year for @BroadfordGaa Eoghan Gunning from @ElectricIreland. A truly wonderful achievement. Well done to everyone picked on the team of the year. 👏

Last Friday saw @clonlaragaaclub host a wonderful blitz which included our under 5 and 7 boys along with under 6 girls. Below is a sample of the fun/skills and 🍦 on show. Really appreciate all the coaches in @BroadfordGaa who are volunteering their time. 👏💛💚

The Munster final last Monday didn’t bring the result we wanted but it was a pleasure to see @BroadfordGaa Niall O’Farrell in full flight over many games for the Clare 20’s. Below is a snapshot of some of his finer scores in this championship. A real sharpshooter 🎯💚💛 💛💙.

Last Monday was a great night for the Gunning family especially Eoghan who captained and starred in a man of the match performance for the Clare minors in Munster final.Everyone who has coached/guided Eoghan from @broadford_ns and @BroadfordGaa in the club will be proud of him.👏

A real family affair at under 7’s training this morning. The coaches bringing in the parents for tips and guidance on how to progress their child’s hurling skill level at home. Super to see parents willing to invest their time in to the future of the club. 🤌👌

Useful template to incorporate into warm up/ trainings on acceleration particularly for those coaching boys and girls from 12 upwards.

Day 2 of @BroadfordGaa Easter 🐣 hurling camp. Beautiful day for wonderful hurling with games like ‘Bulldog’, “rob the nest” and “shoot for glory” engaging our young budding hurlers and camogie players. Roll on tomorrow 💚💛💚💛

Excellent first day at the @BroadfordGaa and beyond Easter 🐣 hurling camp. 130 kids participating in a wide range of activities all related to fun and laughter. Massive appreciation 👏 to those who have volunteered to coach and help throughout the week. Ath Leathan Abu. 💛💚💛💚

Some really interesting insights from coaches and players at Clare GAA on the potential benefits of bio-banding in hurling for early and late developers. Well worth a listen.

Some alternative warm up that coaches might find beneficial. 👍
