More Info...

The Upward Leagues are 10-weeks in duration and are designed to teach children, ages 4th and 5th class, about the sport, fairplay and teamwork. The environment allows for new friendships to be developed across areas in Ballymun, helping breakdown dividing walls between the five local neighborhoods. In working with the children, our coaching staff build the child’s self esteem through encouragement, Upward stars and equal playing time in all matches.

The players are all taught that everyone is a winner - no matter what the final score says!

Upward Leagues involve one hour of training from our trained volunteer staff and a one hour match per week of the 8 week session. Players receive a full kit, t-shirt, beaker and their own player card. At the end of the season, players show off their improved skills in a parents v. kids match, followed by our ‘End of the Year Celebration’ in the Axis Centre with pizza and prizes for every player.

 

SI also run multi-sport camps during school holidays, and Saturday Nite Footie throughout the year.
