The Century Cinemas Sunday Morning Football Academy in partnership with St Eunan’s GAA Club is up and running for the 2016 season.
The initial weeks of the Academy will take place indoors at Aura Leisure Centre before moving outdoors in early April. The Academy has been running for almost twenty years and this has coincided with the most successful, sustained period of success for the St. Eunan’s club.
The Academy is open to all boys and girls in Letterkenny who want to play Gaelic Games. The club has continually invested in training coaches over the years and they will train the children in the fundamentals (A, B, C’s – Agility, Balance, Co-ordination) in a safe and fun environment. All coaches are Garda vetted and have a minimum of Foundation Coaching Award completed.
Club PRO Paul McGovern commented: “Our Academies have been the foundation for the success we have enjoyed at all levels over the last decade or more both at underage and senior level across Football, Hurling and Camogie.
“New players are always welcome at both of our academies and we would encourage children to bring a friend to try out our games. We are delighted to be partnered with Mark Doherty and Century Cinemas as we continue to bring our national games to the boys and girls of Letterkenny Town”.
Mark Doherty of Century Cinemas continued: “The St. Eunan’s club does fantastic work for the children of our town in providing sport as an outlet. We share many common ideas on how we approach what we do here at Century Cinemas with St. Eunan’s, such as our dedication to providing our patrons with the best facilities available and by having highly trained staff to make their experience more enjoyable. Because of this we are delighted to lend our name to the Century Cinemas St. Eunan’s GAA Club Sunday Morning Football Academy.”
