Kildare Ladies Player Development Programme 2011

Kildare ladies football are undertaking a new FREE initiative from Croke Park that gives club underage players an opportunity to develop their skills in ladies football as well as facilitate clubs to improve the standard of coaching. This initiative is important in Kildare as the simplest way to improve the enjoyment of ladies football is to improve the standard of coaching delivered by clubs. Improve the standard of coaching and we will improve the quality of the experience for the players and coaches alike.

This programme is for

* Players who are registered with the county board and born in 1994 for U17 programme

* Players who are registered with the county board and born in 1996 for U15 programme

* Players who are registered with the county board and born in 1998 for U13 programme

* Club coaches / mentors who want to improve their coaching skills, network with other club coaches and share best practice ideas.

The programme will be co-ordinated by county and ex-county players. The sessions will involve emphasis on skills coaching. The coaching sessions will be planned and co-ordinated by qualified coaches. Coaches will be assisted by club coaches. Blitzes will be organised with neighbouring counties. For the players involved there will be 7 coaching sessions and 2 blitzes. The sessions will begin during the third week of September and ending the third week of November. There will be a central venue organised for all coaching sessions and a commitment to attend all sessions is required.
