There will be a PDP 1 Coaching course on the 6^th January and a Safeguarding 1 online on an evening (TBC) the week before.

The venue will be Abbotstown.

This will allow players the opportunity to Volunteer at their club and gain experience coaching whilst also receiving a qualification that can allow them to work and earn money at different times of year in summer camps etc.

The fee, if there is one will be nominal.
