Expert Tuition

Celtic is sending a team of highly-qualified coaches to Ireland to provide a series of four-day coaching courses. Our coaching staff will not only be working on individual skills and tactics during the courses, but they will be sharing the ethos and spirit that make Celtic such a special club.

Vital to any success in football is the quality of coaching, and under the guidance of Head of Youth at Celtic, Chris McCart, we’ve got some of the best in the business.

The Course

The main objective of the courses is to make a difference to young footballers across Sligo. The course will last for four days between 10 am and 3pm and will focus on developing better players through practising skills and techniques, speed and agility exercises, and involvement in small- sided games: all with an emphasis on fun and enjoyment under the watchful eye of the Celtic coaching staff.

Open to all

The key to success of these programmes will be participation. The Celtic Community Academy courses have been specially created for boys and girls between the ages of 5 and 16, regardless of ability. Everyone is encouraged to take part and learn about the Celtic style of play and approach to the game.

All participants will get a Celtic Gift, Celtic Certificate get top class coaching from Celtic coaches and also be able to win prizes through daily competitions.
