Underage blitzes
Feb 25th and 1st April are confirmed dates for our underage blitzes for 2012. However, watch this space as we may be able to get in another one or two.
Sligo Tournement
Galway have been invited to enter a couple of teams into the Annual Under 12s tournement in Sligo on 25th February 2012. This is a very high quality tournement with teams from Galway, Sligo, Athlone, Dublin and Ulster involved. As not all the Under 12s will be able to travel, their will be a selection process over the coming weeks for those to be invited.
Those not travelling will therefore take part in a local blitz between ourselves, Greenfields and Athlone.
Training for 2011/2012 Season
It is club policy to only cancel training sessions where there is concern over the safety of the players. Last season, this happened during the extreme cold weather spell in December and January. Where this happens, there will be a pitch inspection as near as possible to the training session and parents will be informed of a cancellation only by text. Where no text is received - training will go ahead. Training will not be cancelled because of rain. If it's raining - the call is yours to make.
Club Gear for the coming Season
Club gear is available to purchase. See our club gear section. While the players are asked to wear navy/black tracksuits/shorts or skorts for their blitzes, parents are asked that where new ones are being purchased, that they try to buy the club colours of black. Gear is available to buy in the club and in most cases are cheaper than what is available in town. So see our club gear section for ideas.
