Commonwealth Games Shinty Coaching Camp 14th-18th July
This 5 day programme will introduce young people to the sport of Shinty. The 5 sessions will develop skills, offer small sided games and practices in a safe environment.
The coaching will be led by Camanachd Leòdhais’ players/coaches. Participants must take suitable warm clothes for Shinty, suitable footwear, shin guards, a packed lunch and a drink.
Shinty sports equipment will be provided. A healthy snack will also be provided by the Co-operative.
There are only 20 places available for this highly popular event, which occurs during the week of the Hebridean Celtic Festival, which has been a long term partner and supporter of shinty in the Western Isles.
