A GAA club in north Cork has launched a four-year schools coaching programme to encourage young children to take up physical activity — an initiative the club said is even more important post-lockdown.

Mitchelstown Ballygiblin Juvenile GAA club has kicked off its in-school coaching programme for junior to second class students of Bunscoil na Toirbhirte, Scoil na mBráithre and Ballygiblin national schools.
