Season kicks off and Seoul gaels turn to US Military for training

Week 8 (May 21th, 2014): After getting our league campaign off to the best possible start it was back to the U.S Military Base for training and some coaching with the kids this week. In Korea, it is not often that the kids get to meet members of the senior teams as we train in different places.

They have been training regularly on Saturday mornings down by the Han River with Conor, our development officer, while the adult teams commonly train in the afternoon on turf pitches elsewhere. Whether it was the lure of meeting some of the stars from the senior panel or the novelty of training on the Army Base we had our highest ever turnout with thirty kids and just as many curious parents coming along for the afternoon.

What is even more unique is that these are all local Korean kids who had, until recently, never even heard of the game before.
