Hurling training

Today we had hurling training in school! We practised our ground hurling skills. Look at how we are improving our grip on the hurley, our swing, our strike and our block!

Gaelic Football training!

Today we had our first Gaelic Football session with our new coach, Dennis!

We started by doing a quick warm up game. When Dennis shouted 1, we had to put our hands in the air. When he shouted 2, we had to touch the ground and for 3, we had to touch our noses! It was a fun game to start with and helped us to prepare to listen well!

We then practised in groups, firstly rolling the ball to the person opposite us.

After this, we practised hopping the ball across to the other person, using one hand at first....

and then using 2 hands...

We finished the skills part of the session with practising our kicking skills. We had to kick the ball drop our hands against the wall, collect it and pass it to the next person. 

We are very excited about having Gaelic football practice again next week with Dennis and we hope to continue to improve our skills!
