Athletics Ireland recently announced it's Regional Development Squads for 2007/8, which included seven members of Athenry AC's juvenile section. These squads are aimed at assisting athletes in the u14 to u19 age bracket who have shown potential at provincial and national level in the last year.
Athenry AC can be proud of having so many of it's young athletes named on this squad, which gives an indication of the fine work being carried out by the club's athletes and coaches alike.
The aim of the squads is to bring athletes and their coaches together with their peers in a squad environment, to provide a focus for the athletes as they progress through the age groups, to supplement their existing training programs, and offer coach and athlete alike the opportunity to benefit from the varying perspectives of a variety of experienced coaches.
