We are coaching North Antrim’s finest hurlers. We are only here to coach these lads the skills and show them how to make themselves more flexible and improve core strength. It is not the role of our coaches / managers to instil discipline. If our players do not have the correct attitude towards training / mentors / fellow players, they will be removed from the squad for 1 session and their parents will be advised of the reason. Should their attitude not improve they will be removed from the squad for the remainder of the year. Likewise, should any player not be able to control his temper then he will be removed from the squad for 1 session and their parents will be advised of the reason – any further incidents of this nature they will be removed from the squad for the remainder of the year.
A record of attendance will be kept at all training sessions. If players have a continually poor record of attendance the reasons for this will be discussed with their club. If there is no adequate excuse for continual non-attendance the player will be removed from the squad and his place can be re-allocated to another player chosen by the management at that age group.
At the 1st training session – all parents will be invited with the players and this will be explained to parents and players where players all will be required to sign up to this.
The above dates have been selected for training of these squads (10 days). Please note: matches may be arranged instead of training on these dates. It may be necessary to play matches on other dates - this will depend on dates of Blitz’s we are invited to, but we will try to keep to these dates as much as possible.
Can we ask all players attending the Speed and Agility sessions to bring £1.00 with them to help cover the costs of the hire of the hall.
