Some of our Transitiion Years were involved in the second day of the ‘Get going, get rowing’ coaching session in St. Laurence O’Tooles club house on Monday October 14. TY students from schools around Carlow are being upskilled and trained as indoor rowing coaches so that they can bring what they have learned back to their schools to coach First Year students. This is being done in conjunction with Carlow Regional Youth Services and students were lucky enough to have the guidance of Mary Moloney from Rowing Ireland today.

Our Transition Years will now prepare to spend a block of lessons coaching some First Year PE classes in school. These coaching sessions will culminate in a fun day where First years from schools around Carlow, along with their TY coaches, will meet and compete against each other in some fun and enjoyable indoor rowing activities. Our students and school are very lucky to have this opportunity.
