Fun basketball camp planned in Kilcummin

Published

The Head Coach for Scott's Lakers, Jarlath Lee, is planning a fun summer camp for younger and older kids later this month.

The four day 'Fun Hoops' summer camp will take place at Kilcummin National School from August 18 to 21. There, young athletes will learn skills development, offensive skill sets, small sided games, 1 versus 1, conditioning and mental toughness.
It's aimed at children aged from seven to 12-years-old with the camp running from 9.30am to 1pm, while in the afternoon older kids from 12 to 16 will be kept active from 1.30pm to 5pm in an elite camp.

Jarlath, father of para athlete Jordan Lee, this week said that he's delighted to be able to impart his experience on the younger generation.

"I have been blessed to play and coach in a sport that I love. I've played with a lot of good teams during my 20 years playing and in my younger days I won MVP of Nike Camp awards in Manchester and St Joseph in Philadelphia."

He said that in more recent times his passion is for coaching.

"I started my Fun Hoops Academy last year and have been coaching in a lot of primary schools while also coaching for St Colmans in Milltown, St Paul's in Killarney and most recently I am the Head Coach for Scott's Lakers for the upcoming season.

"At my academy your child will learn to play the right way, learn the fundamentals, train their bodies to the highest standards physically and mentally, while also having fun doing so. I'm looking forward to coaching your child and hope to see you all supporting Scotts Lakers in the upcoming season."

The cost of the camp per child is €80 and €140 for two children from the same family.

Students from St Brendan’s College have given €600 to Kerry Hospice.

The money was raised from their book, ‘Futures from the Past’ which was published in April 2024.
Teacher Mary Denise Lyons and students Divo Lucic Kovacevii, Michéal McElligott, and Jaroslav Stetsenko handed over the funds to Cathal Walshe of Kerry Hospice.
‘Futures from the Past’ is a book written by current and retired writers, as well as students from St Brendan’s College.
This donation is the second from the book, with €800 donated last year and €600 this year.
The book was created to allow students to use their imaginations to explore the past and think about the future. It involved students from Poetry Ireland’s Writers-In-Schools Programme and adult learners from Kerry Education & Training Board’s Community Education Creative Writing group.

School Dayz

Transition Year students at Killarney Community College spent last Tuesday learning the skills to become baristas.

They completed a full-day training course and are now qualified to make coffee, which could make them very employable in local cafes and restaurants this summer.
Their teachers, who are described as the school’s “resident coffee experts,” were impressed with the students’ hard work and enjoyed the lattes, cappuccinos, and Americanos the students made throughout the day.
In addition to their barista training, the TY students also took a trip to Mallow. There, they learned about the rules of the road, practiced the driver theory test, and many got behind the wheel of a car for the first time. They also learned about the dangers of speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
