Unfortunately bad decisions on the field and off the field @DubGAAOfficial. Very surprising Dessie started with his strongest team and finished with his weakest. Having that experience in previous games coming off the bench stood to Dublin #DublinvsGalway

As a neutral that was some final!Serious feat by Limerick to win 4 in a row. So clinical in front of goal! Peter Casey is a sharp shooter. Thought when the game was in the balance the ref swung in their favour 🤷🏻‍♂️ #momentum @TheSundayGame @RTEgaa

Not a Clare or Limerick fan! Clare missed easy chances in last 10 mins to get level or one ahead! But my god the refereeing is shocking as per usual. Body check and a rugby tackle on the last play and the ref blows full time whistle.👀 Ref it right @TheSundayGame @SmallerFishGAA

Love how easy it is to see and watch Hurling under the lights at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on the tv! Quickly becoming the best stadium in the country!

Cannon Ball: Fun activity to work on palming the ball into the goal. 2 v 2 with a goal for each pair. One player throws the ball in the air for their partner to palm ball into opponents goal. Players also work on saving the ball. Great for co-ordination. A lively game!

Apache Pizza: Green team in the square with balls, bibs, or whatever you equip (Toppings). Players must run and place a topping in one of the triangles (Slices). Black team attempt to tag green team to send them back. Rotate after a couple of minutes. Team with most toppings win.

Candy Alley - Game to work on stopping a moving ball. Good for new parents to get involved in the group by adding them to the activity. Set up more than one line so children are not waiting around.

It’s a great achievement by clubs to get parents involved early in their nursery programme. Below is something to use to help get parents and children working together.

Fun activity working on different Hurling/Camogie skills. Can you spot why kids might love this game? #Imagination

Making a skill easier or harder for children: 1.Perform the skill static, 2. Perform the skill moving, 3. Perform the skill at speed. Sometimes we forget that the simplest little changes can make a big difference for children.

Simple activity to work on defensive structure when the attacking team has the ball in the final third. #Oneunit #Worktogether

95% of coaches are volunteers. Remember if you are a coach look after yourself as well as the players. A confident and empathetic coach leads to a great coaching environment #Coach #Postivity

Talk to players - If you have something to say to a player, talk to them individually about what you want from them. Make sure it’s simple, specific and to the point. This builds good rapport with players and is an easy way to get your point across. #Noshouting

Talking about player confidence - Coaches should refrain from calling out players mistakes in front of everyone: Players have enough to worry about when playing. We don’t need to make things worse by enhancing mistakes for everyone else to view. #Calmness #Explain
