Cul Camp Coaching Tips

What an amazing adaptation on a simple game that is probably played in every primary school and summer camp

Terminology matters. Dividing children into groups by current ability and then providing those children with inequitable resources that do not match their needs is not ability grouping, it's ability discrimination. By all means, explore ability grouping but not discrimination.

Better late than never for anyone coaching at #CulCamps this summer

Padlet with some info on camps

We designed these A3 posters to encourage our U8 players to practice their skills outside of training. Getting some great feedback from players and parents. 👍#Molanóige Any other ideas you have used??

Never give up. - Positive encouragement -Get a county player to give advice at a camp, special training session if you can (Prep them about it) - Advise the parents on why you are persisting -Use examples e.g. how many players playing Liam McCarthy level play that way? 🙌

Thoughts anyone?? Try a Skill Box (area set out beside the game) Dr Edward Coughlan mentioned this before. Bring 1/3 players out of the game at time to focus on very specific skill development with a coach dedicated to that role. Will always have even numbers playing the game then
