After the huge success of the Celbridge Nursery academy programme last year we are delighted to announce that we are starting back again!! The emphasis of the Club’s Nursery academy is on fun and child development and over the course of the Nursery academy programme to reinforce the values that will keep our children as lifelong members of the GAA, and also to help our children with everyday values required in life such as teamwork, discipline and fair play. At our Junior Nursery academy your children will be introduced to sport in a friendly, fun and safe environment not just concentrating on GAA skills but also fundamental skills know as the ABC,s – Agility, Balance and Coordination. Children will follow a specific programme of progression in their development of individual motor skills (jumping, throwing, catching, striking) and it is our aim to keep the coaching sessions fun and with plenty of variety with these important skills in mind. We know that children grow, develop and learn at different rates throughout their lives and with a dedicated coaching team and Nursery committee we hope to assist in every child’s development regardless of their sporting ability. Children will be put into different groups depending on their age and ability. The club's Nursery academy section is open to all children from 5 years old. No appointment or pre-arranged meetings are necessary, just come along to one of our sessions and our coaches will take it from there.
