Yeah the "Nursery Club" is great for getting the kids down, doing some fundamental movements and being a part of the club.  I must say too, we are in a town with lots of competing clubs.  It's become near essential to start this early or you fall behind in terms of numbers.... There are too many clubs in our area in truth.

How have you coaches found the return to play after the lockdown? My own experience has been a shocking lack of fitness.  Also lots of wee niggly injuries early on in the return.  It's been very tough on the kids.

Fitness is really poor, especially the girls teams and kids from U13 up, the younger ones seem good. I am clubs coaching offices and have noted this myself.

Got involved with our own u-9s myself this year. It's mighty craic. Currently doing the foundation coaching course too. Shane Smith on twitter has brilliant advice for coaches of young underage teams.

Some of them have put on serious timber too.
