CARRICK AC JUVENILE TRAINING UPDATE


Just a final reminder that Carrick-on-Shannon AC Juvenile training resumes next Tuesday October 4, and we’re back at Carrick-on-Shannon Sports Complex this winter.

Training will be held on Tuesdays at the following times for the following groups:

Athletes born 2013:                           5 pm to 5.50 pm (Indoors)

Athletes born 2012 & 2011:                6pm to 6.50 pm (Indoors)

Athletes born 2010, 2009 & older:       6pm to 7pm (Outdoors – meet at Complex)

A few points to note

WEDNESDAY CIRCUIT TRAINING

There will also be an indoor circuit training session for athletes born in 2010, 2009 and older each Wednesday in Carrick Sports Complex from 6pm to 7pm. There is no extra charge for this session – it is covered by the weekly €3 fee.

FRIDAY SESSIONS

Details of the Friday afternoon training session for Post Primary and other eligible athletes will be given at training next week.

WEEKLY FEES

There is a €3 weekly fee for training – for our first term of four weeks up until the Halloween break, we are reverting to cash payments as we finalise our online payment structure. Please put your €12 in an envelope marked with the athlete’s name – if more than one family member in the club, please include all names on the envelope.

MEMBERSHIP

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL THOSE WHO ATTEND TRAINING MUST BE FULLY REGISTERED MEMBERS OF CARRICK-ON-SHANNON AC - THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE

Our membership year runs from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 so if you are receiving this email, you are a fully registered member and need not do anything else.

If you are looking to register a new family member, please do so through the link at https://membership.athleticsireland.ie/ - however, please note that membership period elapses on December 31, and must be renewed in 2023.

Please note we are not accepting any new members born 2014 until January when a new group will be taken in. This group will join the 5pm session on Tuesday evenings in the New Year.

Also please note that we do not take any members born 2015 or later.

DROP-OFF AND COLLECTION TIMES

With parking space limited at the Sports Complex and the entire Aura Leitrim Leisure complex, we would ask all parents to respect our neighbours in Aura and the Community and ensure that they collect their children on time and that they depart the area in a timely manner to allow other parents to drop their children to training in a safe manner.

Please note that the 5 pm session ends at 5.50 so that the area can be cleared for the athletes arriving for both 6pm sessions. The 6pm session for those born in 2012 & 2011 will also end at 6.50 pm with the outdoor session ending at 7pm sharp.

COMPLEX

We have been asked to stress that no children are allowed upstairs in the complex unless accompanied by an adult.

THANKS

Finally, we wish to thank everyone at Gaelscoil Liatroma for the use of their facilities over the last two years. ​​​​​​​At a time when the entire country was locked down due to Covid and our usual indoor facilities were out of bounds to all sports clubs, the Gaelscoil Liatroma facilities were a lifesaver for our club and enabled us to stay operating at such a difficult time.

We really enjoyed our time out at the Gaelscoil but with all our equipment in the Complex and the challenges involved in using some of that equipment outdoors, we feel best that we head back indoors so that we can offer our members a greater range of activities.

We will be eternally grateful for the generosity of everyone associated with Gaelscoil Liatroma in allowing us to make our home there over the last two years - it is deeply appreciated by us all.

Also, we would once again like to thank our main sponsor Brady Insurance for their support.
