< PreviousAugust 2017 The Meath Coaster ©50DONACARNEY CELTIC F.C.FAI SUMMER SOCCER SCHOOLSThis month we hosted our two FAI Summer Soccer Schools at our grounds in Castlemartin. The camps proved to be extremely pop-ular with all age groups again this year with both camps completely sold out once again. The 5 day Soccer Camps were filled with play-ers from 6 to 14 years of age. The days were structured with fun games and football drills in the morning followed by afternoon games where the kids could try out their newly acquired skills while also making new friends.With FAI qualified coaches making sure that the kids were kept chal-lenged and entertained through-out, both camps ran extremely smoothly. Feedback from both camps has been extremely positive so we would like thank all of the coaches who helped out over the two weeks and looked after the kids so well. We would also like to say a massive thank you to Janice Nolan our Club Treasurer for over-seeing both camps for the full two weeks ensuring everything ran per-fectly.
