Killarney Camogie Club is to launch a ‘Hurl With Me’ initiative which will allow parents to train with their daughters.

The plan is to encourage more females to take up coaching camogie at grassroots level.

One of the club’s Under 10 coaches Laura McLarnon attended the Camogie Association’s Motivate Nurture Aspire (MNA) programme last weekend.

This MNA acronym is also a play on the Irish word for women.

Killarney Camogie Club was one of 31 clubs nationwide to be represented at the course that was run in partnership with Sport Ireland at the Technological University of the Shannon Thurles Campus.

“The MNA programme is an initiative of the Camogie Association where they strive to increase opportunities for females in coaching, active participation, officiating and leadership by strengthening the perceptions of females in sport,” said Killarney Camogie Club PRO Caroline O'Leary.

“We look forward to supporting Laura in implementing her mentoring successfully in Killarney Camogie Club.”
