Sports & Recreation - Sligo CTC v's Youthreach

The sports group played Youthreach Sligo in 7 a-side game on Tuesday. It was a close, competitive game played in a great spirit.  

Spotlight on the Sports & Recreation Course

Today we are taking a look at the sports and recreation course available in the centre. This is a very popular course and is designed for trainees who are interested in working in the Health, Fitness & Leisure industries. Trainees participate in practical sport classes on a daily basis, including gym work, football and swimming. Trainees will work towards completing modules at level 3 in Soccer Skills and Health and Fitness, while some will also work on level 4 modules in Health Related Fitness and Customer Service.


Course Content:

• Soccer Skills
• Health and Fitness 
• Health Related Fitness
• Customer Service

Within these modules trainees will gain knowledge and experience of the above industries giving them a platform to progress on to further training or employment.

Various progressions are available for further training through the ETB courses in similar industries and the many PLC courses also available at level 5.

Another option available to trainees on successful completion of this course is 6 months full-time placement (Link-work) which can be offered to trainees who show commitment to progressing a career both in these industries and others.

Under 18 Irish Squad

Congratulations to Bradley Fowley from the Sports group, who attended trials for an Under 18's home-based Irish squad recently.  As a result of doing well in the trials, he has been placed on standby for the Under 18 Ireland home-based squad who will play two games v Wales at the end of this month.

This is a huge achievement for Bradley and we wish him the best of luck.

Sligo CTC v Ballinode PLC

Sligo CTC were playing Ballinode PLC on 24th November on the astro pitch at the showgrounds.  It turned out to be a very one sided game with Sligo CTC been too strong for their opponents. It was a chance for a lot of trainees to play and all 20 players played a minimum of 40 minutes on the day which will be of great benefit to them going forward. We will play Ballinode senior school team in the coming weeks which will be a good test for the Sligo CTC team.
