Northern Ireland Talent Development Pathway & Academy
The Talent Development Pathway Sessions are back in action, and we’re pleased to announce our next training day.
This initiative is kindly supported by the PeacePlus fund:
This session will take place on 16th May at The Grove Leisure Centre.
As we continue to build strong foundations at the start of the year, this is a great opportunity to refocus, raise standards, and push forward together as a squad.
Please ensure you bring water.
