The club tonight launched its Youth Athletic Development Programme initiative which will commence next week and run right through to Christmas.
The initiative, launched by club chairman, Oliver Molloy, aimed initially at U-11s to U-17 boys is a development programme that introduces children to the fundamentals of strength and conditioning in a fun and engaging environment. The programme aims to build not just stronger bodies but also stronger minds by instilling confidence, discipline, and resilience in young participants.
The Youth Development Program is designed to focus on introducing the principles of strength and conditioning through age-appropriate exercises and games. The goal is to make fitness fun while laying a solid foundation for future athletic development. This programme is not about lifting heavy weights or engaging in rigorous training routines. Instead, it emphasizes bodyweight exercises, functional movements, and games that encourage kids to stay active and enjoy moving their bodies.
There were descriptive and informational presentations from Mike Quirke, Padraig Kelly and Tony Duggan which will see all sessions supervised by qualified instructors using age appropriate equipment with the focus very much on fun over performance.
The programme will commence next week and all age groups will be notified on ClubZap by their coaches.
The Youth Development Program offers a unique opportunity for kids to get active, learn valuable skills, and build healthy habits in a fun and supportive environment. By introducing children to the fundamentals of strength and conditioning at a young age, the programme sets the stage for lifelong physical activity and overall well-being. Whether they aim to become future athletes or simply lead healthy, active lives, the programme equips them with the tools and confidence to reach their full potential.
