On Wednesday 11th May boys from 5th class had coaching sessions with Richard Mc Carthy from Le Chéile Athletics Club in Leixlip. There were two sessions of about 50 minutes duration and with around 21 boys taking part in each one. Richard is such an expert, effective coach and he really put the boys through their paces! He began with a really good warm-up and stretch and he explained the importance of starting every running session like this. He then gave some super technique tips followed by what the boys loved the most...lots of running! The boys also got an introduction to relays and how to pass the baton.It was a wonderful opportunity for the boys to get a chance to run on a proper state of the art running track and I have a feeling that many of them will be joining an athletics club soon. Thanks so much to Richard for his time and expertise and to the club for allowing us use their amazing facilities . We would also like to thank all the parents who have been so generous with lifts throughout the week. If any students would like to know more about this great club why not look at their website http://www.lecheileac.com/wp/
