The Camogie Association is delighted to launch itâsâCamogie4Teensâ programme.

This is a new and exciting initiative specifically for teenagers.

The Camogie Association applied for funding for this initiative and were one

of 5 national governing bodies to receive funding for a project from the Coca Cola Thank you Fund.

The aim of this unique programme is to cluster Camogie clubs together in a county

in order to provide targeted programmes for their teenagers (15-18 year olds).

There will be 5 clubs clustered together for each programme. Each club will be able to

nominate 6-8 teenagers for the initiative.

There will be 20 programmes in total. The 20 programmes will run over 2 phases.

County Boards have already applied for the programme and the 20 counties chosen are

as follows:

Phase 1:

Dublin, Meath, Carlow, Westmeath, Derry, Antrim, Cavan, Galway, Limerick, Cork

Phase 2:

Wicklow, Offaly, Wexford, Kildare, Down, Armagh, Donegal, Roscommon,

Clare, Tipperary

The county boards chosen are now in the process of determining what clubs

within their county are interested in the programme and 5 clubs will be chosen

within each county for the programme.

Each club in the cluster of 5 that is chosen within a county will host an element of the programme for the teenegers involved.

Programmes include Coaching Course, Referee Course, Admin/PR Course, Lifestyle & Blitz days. Tutors for the courses will be organised by the Camogie Association through the Regional

Development Co ordinators.
