Cavan GAA VHI Cúl Camps 2009
Cavan GAA VHI Cúl Camps 2009 The 2009 VHI GAA Cúl Camps was officially launched last week in Croke Park by Criostóir Ó Cuana, in his first official outing as President of GAA, Declan Moran, Director of Marketing and Business Development, VHI Healthcare, Anthony Daly current Dublin Hurling Manager and former captain of Clare senior inter-county hurling team, and Colm O'Rourke former inter-county Gaelic footballer for Meath. Also on hand to mark the launch of the fourth annual VHI GAA Cúl Camps were current players Richie Hogan (Kilkenny Senior Hurling team), Angela Walsh (Member of Cork Ladies Football Team), Sinéad Cahalane (Galway Camogie Captain) and Ross McConnell (Dublin Senior Football Team) and our own Paul Brady (National and World Handball Champion – Cavan County Footballer). These players will serve as ambassadors, visiting camps throughout the summer and will also train the lucky children selected to take part in the VHI GAA Cúl Day Out in September, giving tips to children on how to improve their game. Now in its fourth year, the VHI GAA Cúl Camps is a nationally co-ordinated programme that encourages primary school children between the ages of 5 and 13, not only to learn and develop sporting skills irrespective of sporting skills or ability but also to develop a keen sense of fair-play and personal achievement by participating in Gaelic Games, in a fun, non-competitive environment. The individual camps are managed by experienced coaches who have devised a specific programme to ensure the participating children not only learn skills but also to place an emphasis on fun and team- building activity.
