The sun is shining, and despite it being after 9, it's still bright out. I dropped one of my lads down to training the other night, and it was great to see so many people milling about in pods of 15. Yeah. It's starting to feel like Summer.
This week saw the club launch a long term athletic plan for juveniles; more on this below.
if you want something included in the club notes, all you have to do is drop me a mail at pro@stvincentsgaa.ie.

Long Term Athletic Development Pathway Launched
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The club's Long Term Athletic Development (LTAD) Pathway document was officially launched last night at an online meeting. Due to very high demand for attendance, and limitations on Google Meet numbers, we weren't able to open this up beyond juvenile mentors.
The document is the fruits of work carred out by the LTAD group which consisted of:
Emma Byrne – GPO/Strength & Conditioning Coach
Leigh Ryan – Athletic Development/Strength & Conditioning Coach
Stephen Keane – Athletic Development/Strength & Conditioning Coach
Michael O’Driscoll – Athletic Development/Strength & Conditioning Coach
Helen Drumgoole – Juvenile Camogie Director
Denise O’Leary – Juvenile Camogie Director
Niamh Adamson – Juvenile Ladies Football Director
Tony O’Connell – Juvenile Boys Director
Conor Dignam – Chair

The document was officially launched by Niall Moyna, Professor of Clinical Exercise Physiology in the School of Health and Human Performance at DCU. Many of you will be familiar with Professor Moyna, through his work with various teams in the club.
The document focuses on key exercises to promote proper movement in children, for all stages in their athletic development. To download a copy of the document, visit the dedicated page on the club website. Also, the team are on hand to answer any questions you may have. If you want to get in touch with them, just drop a mail to ltad@stvincentsgaa.ie.
Folks: this is an amazing resource, and we're very lucky to have professional sport scientists in our club. They've given their time and expertise to produce this document, for which we are both proud and thankful.

You know, I know the Dublin County board have CCC1 and CCC2, but I've struggled to know what it stands for. Well, here it is from the horses mouth:
"The County Youth Competitions Control Committee Two (CCC 2) is responsible for the arrangement and control of all games in respect of the Age Groups under 13 to under 16 (inclusive)"
More importantly, they gave an update on fixtures last Friday, May 14th. There's a lot in it, so I'm not going to try to summarise. Mentors and parents; full details are here.

Problems with Foireann? Just drop me a note
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Most of our initial teething problems with Foireann seem to be thinning out, but if you are having any trouble - drop me a note. There are a couple of common issues which I'm able to solve pretty easily, so don't suffer in silence! If something isn't working as you expect, send me an e-mail with a description of the problem, and I'll see if I can help.

Ah Janey. It kills me but credit where it is due. David Clifford's dummy for his Hat-trick is a worth the slo-mo treatment. Enjoy
