Cork GAA launch Youth Performance Camps for post primary boys and girls this June in SuperValu Páirc Ui Chaoimh

Cork GAA are delighted to announce that this summer we will be running Performance Camps for boys and girls finishing first and second year this summer across all 4 codes (Football, Ladies Football, Hurling and Camogie).

The camps will take place in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on the following dates:

Hurling/Camogie Camp

• Tuesday June 4^th – Friday June 7^th : 09.15-14.30

Football/Ladies Football Camp

• Monday June 10^th – Thursday June 13^th : 09.15-14.30

The primary goal of this fun-based training camp is to expose players to age appropriate “best practice” coaching across the four big pillars of performance including Hurling and Football Skills, Athletic Development, Performance Psychology and Health and Lifestyle Skills.

The Camp will have a particular focus on developing the core attacking and defending skills across Football and Hurling as well as speed, agility and power from an Athletic Development perspective. Performance Psychology Skills will concentrate on Leadership, Teamwork, Confidence and Emotional Control. While education on Recovery techniques, Sleep, Nutrition and Time Management will be central to the Health and Lifestyle aspect of the camp.

This fun based developmental training camp is designed by Aidan O’Connell, the High Performance Manager with Cork GAA, and will be delivered by expert Coaches and Practitioners who work across the various Intercounty Teams and Cork GAA Academy Squads.

Speaking at the launch of the Cork GAA Performance Camp, Aidan O’Connell said

“I’m delighted to be launching the Cork GAA “Performance Camp” for our younger players. This fun training camp will provide an exciting opportunity for boys and girls to learn and develop the core performance skills that will add value to their development both on and off the pitch. Fortunately, we can draw from our Academy and various Intercounty set ups, a selection of High Performance Coaches and Practitioners who will provided high quality coaching across the technical skills of the game, athletic development, performance psychology and health and lifestyle skills. We are excited to provide these committed young players with a unique experience that will help them on the road to optimising their potential”
