Colette Kelly:

"Another successful Track and Field season has been concluded, and our beautiful summer has come to a close. Its back to school, and back to training"

The Cork County Board CYDI and Winter Coaching Series will resume at CIT Track, on Saturday September 22nd

The format of the annual Winter Coaching Series has changed this year, to incorporate the new CYDI scheme. The open Winter Coaching Series is for all athletes age 10 and upwards from 2:30pm to 4pm

Session 1: 1pm to 2:30 pm CYDI Panel A, 2:30 to 4pm Open coaching session.

On Day One,  Saturday September 22nd, Athletes, born from 2003 to 2006, who have already expressed an interest in being part of the CYDI, along with athletes who would also like to be considered, are invited to register for the Autumn sessions between 12:45 and 1 pm in the red brick building.

Following this, a one and a half hour training session will follow with the event-specific coach. For this group, athletes are asked to select one event group only from the following:

Sprints / Long Jump / High Jump / Hurdles / Shot Put / Javelin / Discus / Hammer / Distance

At the end of the session, each event coach will nominate those athletes selected for Panel A of their event. This group will continue with their event coach, from 1pm to 2:30pm on the designated coaching days, with the aim of achieving the relevent EYOF standard, in 2019 or 2021.

The remaining athletes will be invited to join the open Autumn Winter Coaching coaching session, from 2:30pm to 4pm, on each of the coaching days. During the year, if an event coach feels an athlete from the open Autumn Winter Coaching series, has made considerable improvement, they may be invited into the Panel A group. Similarly, if an athlete selected for the CYDI sessions does not demonstrate sufficient commitment and application, they may be deselected.

September - December 2018 Coaching Dates

NB: There is no Distance Group session until the New Year, as these athletes are taking part in the Cross-Country Leagues & Championships

Following on from the Spring 2018 sessions, the scheme resumes On September 22nd.
