All Child Protection Workshops will commence at 7pm.

All coach education courses will commence at 9:30am on the Saturday. Coaches who attend the foundation coaching award course must also complete the child protection workshop, failure to do so will result in them not being certified as a Foundation Award Coach.

Child Protection Workshop (only) – £10
To register for any of the above courses please contact Anne Daly at anne.daly.gda.tyrone@gaa.ie / 028 85567723
