PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! ALL THE INFORMATION YOU NEED ABOUT OUR SUCCESSFUL SKILL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM IS ON THIS PAGE AND THOSE LINKED ABOVE.
CLADDAGH SKILL DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN ENHANCED FOR THE 2011-12 SEASON
SAME GREAT PROGRAM CONTENT, EVEN BETTER SETUP!
All our boys and girls players show remarkable improvement when they consistently attend our training times (or classes). Previous roadblocks to this were other commitments and sports, as well as busy family schedules that caused players to miss some classes. Now, with a "round the clock" approach and 7-day schedule, we offer multiple training times for each age group, gender, skill level, and position. That way, if a week gets busy with other conflicts our players are still able to stay up to speed with progress through our curriculum.
Specificity is improved through more focused training groups, rather than all skills being attended to at once. Though the weekly schedule offers every player full opportunity to develop each critical skill at an enhanced rate.
Our well-known player-to-coach ratio will stay 8 to 1 or better through online registration by the player/parent from 24 hours prior leading up to the class time. We do not over-enroll our programs and we will ensure that each class has an optimal level of coach-to-player attention each day.
The Claddagh Skill Development Class Schedule Will Begin November 1st 2011 and Run Until March 18th 2012
