The importance of developing youth football is key to the future success of Draperstown Celtic and therefore we are pleased to announce the return of the highly successful Draperstown Celtic Skills Development Centre.
The focus of the Skills Development Centre is on developing skilled, confident and creative footballers while making the game fun to practice and play. We will teach the importance of good sportsmanship, respect for all and the value of winning but not at the expense of player character or performance development. The Centre embraces the concept of fun and enjoyment, which is important if children are to develop a lifelong love of football. It is designed for children from P3 – P7 of all abilities, to develop skills, understanding and most importantly make the game FUN and ENJOYABLE.
Last year was our most successful season yet with over 850 children attending the Centre during the season. We had an average of 40 children each Saturday morning learning new skills and enjoying the game of football. Since its beginnings 3 years ago the Centre has grown in popularity and has given rise to some interesting facts:
- Over 2,000 children have attended
- Received IFA Accreditation
- Hosted an IFA Football Fun week
- Hosted a Mini Soccer Tournament
- Produced players for our Youth team
