BOYS WHO WERE AWARDED PRIZES FOR PERFORMANCE DURING THE OUR LADY OF LOURDES HANDBALL LAUNCH ON THURSDAY

Our Lady of Lourdes launches One Wall Handball Initiative with Year 8 pupils.

Two One Wall Handball courts were installed in the sports hall at Our Lady of Lourdes College, Ballymoney during the summer term and pupils now have the opportunity to participate in handball throughout the school year.

Today the Our Lady of Lourdes PE department welcomed Ulster GAA coach James McVeigh and Dunloy GAC coach Damien McMullan to deliver sessions with Year 8 boys and girls. During the session pupils had the opportunity to learn the basic skills and movements within the game and then participate in drills and match situations.

Throughout the morning, Ulster GAA coach James McVeigh and Dunloy’s Damien McMullan identified and rewarded good performance and attitudes from the boys and girls with spot prizes.

The pupils thoroughly enjoyed the experience and look forward to future Handball events.
