Thank You to Ballyhaise GAA for a Fantastic Skills Day!

The day was packed with fun, energy, and excellent coaching, giving our pupils a chance to develop their football and hurling skills in a supportive and encouraging environment.

The sessions were led by a group of Ballyhaise GAA volunteers, including some former pupils, which made the day even more special. It was great for the children to see past students returning to help and share their love for the game.

Every group was given the chance to take part in a variety of drills and games, all focused on building confidence, teamwork, and core GAA skills. The volunteers were fantastic with the children—encouraging, patient, and full of enthusiasm throughout.

We’d like to offer a sincere thank you to Ballyhaise GAA and all the volunteers who gave their time to organise and run the day. The effort and planning that went into it were clear to see, and the children came away smiling, inspired, and more confident in their skills.

Days like this show the real strength of our local community, and we’re proud to continue building strong links between the school and the club.

Here’s what some of our pupils had to say:

"I really liked the soloing game—we got to race each other and I won my group!" – 4th Class
"It was cool learning from older players who used to be in our school." – 5th Class
"The coaches were so nice. They showed us how to kick the ball better." – 2nd Class
"I hope we can do it again next year!" – 3rd Class
