Free sports education course

EXPERT advice from an Australian sports academy — one of the most advanced in the world was sought in the preparation of a new education programme now available to Irish sporting organisations.

The programme, launched in Dublin yesterday, will provide coaches, trainers, athletes and players in all disciplines scientific advice on every aspect of preparation for sport.

The programme will be administered from the National Coaching and Training Centre in Limerick. They have drawn up a panel of seven experts who will be available to present the programme to interested groups, free of charge.
