Forms were distributed at all practices last week.

Football details are U8 Fridays at 7pm, U10 Thursdays at 7pm, U12 Thursdays at 6pm, U14 Wednesdays at 7pm, U16 Thursdays at 8pm, U18 Thursdays at 9pm. Camogie practices are on Tuesdays – U10 & U12 at 6pm, U14 at 7pm, U16 at 8pm and U18 & Junior at 9pm.

 

Youth Club

KYC relies on offers of assistance from volunteers to deliver our programme of activities. If you can give as little as one hour a week for supervision or to help in the shop or if you have a knack for any particular activity whether sporting or in arts & crafts and are willing to help, please get in touch. It can be difficult to make that first approach but feel free to call or drop in without obligation to Dunavil any time. We need your help!
