The annual Letterkenny Gaels Camogie Camp took place last week at Pairc na nGael and once again was a huge success. Over sixty girls from five to fourteen years participated over the three days under the guidance of lead coach Ann Marie Gibbons.
Day one saw the visit of Glenavy Camogs from Co Antrim. The girls joined with the Gael U-10 and U-12/14 groups and enjoyed the coaching and matches. They finished off their day with food and entertainment in Arena 7.
On the second day the camp enjoyed a BBQ courtesy of Castlegrove Country House, prepared by Alan Sweeney and chef Gary. The final day saw Clare Dowdall, Camogie Regional Development Officer, work with different groups on first touch and striking from the hand.
The coaching was all games based so the girls were always busy working with coaches Ann Marie, Rory, Emer, Una and Eimear.
The U8s and nursery group combined under the watchful eyes of coach Ellen with assistance from Terezena, Mary and Bridget. Despite some windy weather, the camp was thoroughly enjoyed by all with positive feedback from parents and girls alike.
The camogie club t-shirts were a great hit and undoubtedly will be evident at Pairc na Gaeil in the near future.
