‼️WE BACK‼️ Primary school academy kicks off again this season in Scoil Ruain Killenaule 🏀

The start of the Basketball year is hectic with planning an organization for the season and managing schedules is always difficult.

That being said, this was always a priority to get back up and running to make sure our next wave of young kids are being given the platform to play basketball in Killenaule.

I’m excited to announce that we will start back today, Tuesday, the 29th September, in Killenaule from 6PM to 7PM

Excitingly, the pro players from Tipperary Talons will be on hand to help guide our next wave of young Tipperary basketball players.

The cost of the program is €3 per child which can be paid at each session. Looking forward to seeing everyone this evening.

Caitlin grew up playing with Waterford Wildcats underage and the mercy secondary school before graduating to the Wildcats Superleague team of n her teenage years.

She is currently a member of the Cleveland Rockets National League team where she has earned National young player of the year honors, just missing out on the opportunity to be promoted to the superleague this past season.

She represented Ireland at u16, u18, u20 and Senior Irish Teams and has massive amounts of experience to share with our campers this coming week.

We’re delighted to have Caitlin join us this coming week and we look forward to a very exciting week of camp in Waterford!

Issy Hayden will be joining us as a Camp coach this week for our Scoil Ruain, Killenaule HOOPS life camp.

Izzy played six years of basketball in Scoil Ruain, helping her team win an all Ireland B title the process, and gaining promotion to the A division of School basketball.

She then went on to play college basketball in Mary I in Limerick, where an injury put Basketball on pause for her in the short term.

She has since returned to the court and has been a big part in the developing Tipp Talons ladies team this past two years.

We are delighted to have Izzy joining the staff, and we’re looking forward to have her guide these young campers to having fun and developing their skills over the week.

HOOPSLife Ireland is delighted to welcome the next wave of young and enthusiastic International basketball players who will be joint us as coaches in our summer camps this year.

These incredibly talented young players will be joining us this week in Scoil Ruáin and next week in SETU Arena Waterford to help guide our HOOPSLife campers and give them an incredible basketball experience.

With multiple years of international basketball experience at U16 and U18 levels, along with experience playing in the Irish National League, and in the USA, these coaches are incredibly experienced for their age and will provide massive value in our camps in the coming weeks.

Looking forward to seeing everybody at camp tomorrow 🏀🏀

‼️ Updates Schedule for the Academy ‼️

The Academy is growing so rapidly we are separating the under 8s and 10s from the under 12s and 14s

Last week we had 40+ kids in the Academy and while this is fantastic, the downside is I am not able to focus fully on either of the two groups and help them progress their skills!

I also am putting an awful a lot of pressure on the people helping me to be able to manage the big numbers!

I hope everybody will be happy with the split and I hope this will allow for the younger kids to get more fun and enjoyment out of it, and some of the older kids to get more focused coaching so they can develop more in the coming weeks!

Thank you all for understanding, and I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow. 🏀🏀
