The Kids
Gaelic Football COOL Camp is back this Mid-Term on Thursday 27th and
Friday 28th February!!!

The Cayman
Islands Kids Gaelic Football Club is thrilled to introduce the first
COOL Camp of 2020; a 2-day camp during the Mid Term Break on Thursday
27th February and
Friday 28th
February at the Camana Bay Sports Complex.

In 2019 we
had our Mid-Term, Easter and Halloween COOL Camps taking place, with
70 budding athletes in attendance. We also hosted our "Summer
Blitz Days" over May and June.

The
attendees came from schools across the Island, with a great mix of
nationalities in each team. The youngsters gave lots of positive
feedback following the Camps and Blitz Days, enjoying using skills
they had learned in other sports, along with learning new Gaelic
techniques in both hurling and football. Some children had previously
played in previous Gaelic COOL Camps, while others came from netball,
soccer and rugby backgrounds and found it easy to adapt these
experiences to Gaelic COOL Camp.

The coaches
were also very enthusiastic and excited at the talent that was
displayed by some of the children, particularly those who had never
even seen the sport before or had never played a team sport. Many
parents also participated in the session and were enquiring about
more regular fixtures. Some of our youth players from these training
sessions are now so skilled in their play that they participated in
the adult Corporate Mixed 9’s event in January 2020, with others
already signed up for the 2020 Senior Gaelic Football League.

In the COOL
Camp, the training will start with a basic warm up for all players,
followed by a quick, exciting game to get everyone familiar with
catching and throwing the Gaelic Football. The coaching will then
move on to learning a couple of specific techniques used in Gaelic
Football, followed by a chance to practice these new skills in
drills. To further develop these practices, a short, fun-orientated
game for each age group will take place to challenge the players to
incorporate their new skills into the team play environment. Finally,
a competitive game will close the session.

It is going
to be another action packed COOL camp focusing on learning and
developing the Gaelic Football skills of running, passing, kicking,
tackling along with movement and agility skills and, of course,
teamwork and friendship. All are welcome and
no prior experience is necessary.

As with all
our other Camps and Blitz Days, we have indoor facilities so
regardless of weather conditions the Camp will go ahead and the kids
will be comfortable and within a safe environment.
