In order for players to progress as individuals
and as a team, players need to attend consistently.
Understandably, coaches find it very difficult to
move forward if players are dipping in and out.
It is also not fair on teammates as the whole team is affected.
Full commitment is expected at all age levels.
How often is practice on?
U10 players practice once per week but sometimes twice.
Players U11 and over practice twice per week.
You will need to travel for away games for U11's and older.
The furthest distance to the north is Baltinglass
and Wexford in the south (and places in between)
