ISG (International Sports Group) will be delivering three days of player and coach development training at the Ashbourne GAA indoor facility.
Coaches Tom O’Connell (ISG President), John McLaren (Philadelphia Phillies) and Ed Flaherty (Head Coach University of Southern Maine) will deliver a series of clinics aimed at coaches and players.
The programme will involve a series of presentations and practical hands on sessions addressing the fundamentals and more advanced aspects of throwing, fielding, hitting, pitching and practice organisation. Whilst some aspects will be aimed more specifically at coach development, all the sessions will be of great interest to anyone looking to develop as player or a coach.
Tom, John and Ed bring with them an enormous wealth of knowledge and experience gained at High School, College, Minor and Major League level. They have worked extensively with other European Federations and understand the challenges faced by players and coaches working with limited resources. The full itinerary has yet to be finalised but the programme will run (approximately) as follows:
Friday evening: 18.30-20.30 ISG presentation
Saturday: 12-2.00pm ISG Presentation
3-6.00 pm Practical session in the Hall
Sunday 11-1.00 pm ISG Presentation
2-5.00 pm Practical Session in Hall
If you are interested in participating in the clinic please let me know asap. There will be a small charge to help cover our costs.
Entire weekend € 40
Day rate € 15
Practical Sessions €10
