CROOM GAA CLUB NOTES
Rising Stars:
Our Rising Stars programme is continuing every week and we had 41 children last Saturday. The Rising Stars is a 6 week programme of fun indoor activities based on hurling and football to develop your child’s fundamental movement skills such as agility, balance, co-ordination, running, jumping, catching, and throwing. The programme takes place on Saturday mornings at Croom Sports Complex and is on for another 3 weeks starting at 10am and will last an hour. The programme is for boys and girls aged 3-6 and parental involvement during each class is encouraged. Anyone who missed the first few weeks are more than welcome to attend this Saturday.
