A few of the 10s on the U11s have come on a tonne since getting more game time and time on the ball since we started giving them their own matches.Its definitely helped their confidence to mix it with the older kids now in the U11s matches.But any kid that isn’t practicing at home is going nowhere no matter how many matches they get.And a lot of that is down to the parents.

Yeah that’d be great thanks. I can definitely see the benefits of it but my feeling is just to delay it by a year. Streaming with the best will in the world surely leads to pressure to win over skills and the better coaches gravitating the better team and taking it more seriously too. All part of life but I’d just prefer it happened when the girls are a bit more mature.
This is an interesting article and presentation at the top part about Haalands underage team in Norway.
They didn’t stream until 14 and allowed players choose did they want to go on the elite team taking it more seriously or the social team training once a week.
Yeah, we have a lot of lads that dont pick up a hurl between games and training. They toddle along on the B or C team for a few years and most of them jack it in around minor. I used to get cross about this but I’ve sort of changed my opinion a bit. They have probably hurled for 10 years and learned plenty. If they have had a positive experience they will most likely arrive back in the gate with their own kid’s in 20 years time. That is success in its own way.
Having said all that i mostly want to produce loads of good hurlers so we can hammer them Vincent’s and Crokes cunts.

15 minutes a day would make a huge difference but you’re competing with so much… Other sports, extra curricular activities and the big one…
Saw this global stat the other day…
“Furthermore, 84 per cent of kids say YouTube is the main way they consume video content, with 40 per cent of kids spending up to two hours a day on YouTube”
Aside: It kind of dawned on me last week that our U12s aren’t actually fit. I assumed that was something I didn’t need to worry about till they were a bit older.

Boys or girls?
Absolute necessity to do a bit of conditioning with lads from u14 onwards…not weights just bodyweight, planks, jumpings… calisthenics is the correct name I think…build it all into skills work…or do it for 5 mins and then practise skills under fatigue…
A lad does s and c for our adult teams and he tripped a switch with our adults last summer asking the most simple q of all time…who here doesn’t want to be fit? Sure everyone wants to be fit?
Works just as well with young lads

I saw that about YouTube. It’s terrifying
Not much different to us watching TV when we were young.Most kids don’t really watch TV now.

Thank you, presume given size of Cork they’d have multiple divisions of similar grade for various locations or would that be a top grade for entire county?
