January 2012

Firstly, Erin’s Own would like to wish all the children, the families and the teachers of the parish a very happy and prosperous newyear. In terms of the coaching scheme, 2011 was a great year; we had camps, clinics, interschool matches for the older classes andinterschool blitzes for the first and second class children. Every class from first through sixth got the chance to play hurling/camogieand football and to experience what the coaching scheme is all about.

Looking to the year ahead, the next main thing on the agenda for Erin’s Own is the registration days for existing members and newmembers for the coming year. Any child who is interested in playing hurling, football or camogie with their friends is very welcometo come along, sign up and just have a go at playing these great Irish sports!

At Eastertime we can look forward to a weeklong GAA camp for all the children of the four schools. Last year we had 110 childrenenjoying themselves in the Easter sunshine, this year we hope to top that and have an even better camp!

Sciath na Scoil will present itself shortly after Easter time and we can expect plenty of great coaching being done by the teachers inthe schools and also some riveting challenge matches taking place between the four schools. If the success of the schools in thefootball version of the Sciath na Scoil is anything to go by, we can expect some silverware to be brought back to the schools trophycabinets in the Glounthaune Parish this coming May.

“To all the children of the four schools, have a great sporting year in 2012!” – Erin’s Own

ERIN’S OWN COACHING SCHEME

NEWSLETTER 2012

COLMANS COACHING CORNER Colman Dillon, a long serving and much respected coach with Erin’s Own has a number of golden rules that any young personplaying hurling would do well to always be aware of.

Here are a few of Colman’s gems!

1. Hold your head up always, your head is dormant when you’re looking at the grass!

2. Don’t take time or give time on the ball!

3. Always think ahead of your next move!

4. Keep your eye on the ball always even when it’s in the refs pocket!

5. Control, look and strike the ball intelligently!

6. Your first touch must always control the ball!

7. Respect the other team but leave sympathy for them at home!

8. If you are not on the ball; you must be in your position!

9. The difference between a good player and a great player is the pace at which they do things when they are on the ball!

10. You must always attack the ball, never wait for it to come to you!

11. Keep in mind the three D’s: Dedication - Determination - Discipline!
