Community Voice April 2004
In these TV and Playstation days its always a challenge to
introduce children to new sports especially if those sports are considered to be
difficult to play by people who haven't yet tried them out. This year , the regular Monday night Winter Indoor Training
for the Under 9 hurlers and Under 10 footballers have been a little bit
different . The children have rotated in groups to learn and practice their
skills and included in this is an introduction to the game of Handball. This
worked very well and the game has proved very popular with the children. Handball is a great game to develop hand-eye co-ordination,
improve footwork ( no less a hurler than DJ Carey speaks highly of it! ) and it
is great fun. It also makes for better use of the facilities of the Club , which has two indoor Handball courts . The weekly training session can better cater for large numbers attending with children being kept active and learning a new sport at the same time . it is planned to expand the model for next winter's indoor training schedule and to introduce even more boys and girls to handball. With handball Champions like Eoin Kennedy and Maria McCarthy playing at adult level in the Club and a whole new generation of children being introduced to the game , the future looks bright for Handball at St.Brigid's . New members are always welcome at this lively Club which
serves Blanchardstown and Castleknock areas from its Clubhouse behind Esso on
the Navan Road by Enda Timoney |
