As you may or may not be aware the club is now affiliated with Athletics Ireland aswell as Triathlon and Cycling Ireland.
We get quite a bit of correspondence from Athletics Ireland and as I am not sure who is interested in events/coaching with them I am going to post anything of relevance here!

Leevale AC is hosting a javelin master class weekend hosted at the club’s High Performance Centre and CIT track.

Terry McHugh (Irish National Record Holder, 82.75m and current Swiss National Coach) will lead the weekend.

During his career, Terry finished 10th at the 1993 World Championships and 7th and the 1994 European Championships. He competed in four Summer Olympics: 1988, 1992, 1996, and 2000.

Terry coaches the javelin at the highest level and this is a wonderful opportunity for emerging talent.

The proposed program for the weekend is as follows:

Friday 12th Oct 5pm – 9pm
Introduction season planning session planning S&C talk
Saturday 13th Oct 9am – 6pm
athlete technical assessment technical throwing sessions individual & group recap
Sunday 14th Oct 10am – 2pm

This is a unique opportunity to spend time with an international coach, and coaches as well as athletes will benefit enormously.

Participants will receive a detailed itinerary closer to the date by email. For further details, please contact donalfmoynihan@gmail.com

Cost of this masterclass is €100.

Hello All.

Following on from a very successful Day 1 of the Leinster Squads our next day is Dec 8th in Morton Stadium again. There has been a change in dates. See below. We were previously scheduled Jan 12th in the NIA but this clashes with the National Indoor League. Due to the lack of available Saturday’s we will move this to Tuesday Feb 19th during the mid-term break. Please take note of slight changes in timing for the remaining dates.
