Dermot Austin Summer Camp
The annual Dermot Austin Summer Camp will be held from Tuesday 30 July to Fri 02 August.
The summer camp is for children aged five and over. The cost will be £20 per child.
There will be an information and registration evening on Wed 24 July at 7.00pm.
Sarsfields are appealing to everyone associated with the club to consider helping out with the summer camp. There is a great tradition of volunteering at the summer camp that has been inspired by the late Dermot Austin and the club would hope that this will continue. The appeal goes out to coaches, players, students, parents and all club supporters. Football coaching experience is not required. Help is needed to assist coaches with the youngsters, but others can help with registration, tea making and general supervision. Even if you can only help for one day your assistance would be very welcome.
A convenient way to register your interest would be to come along to the registration evening on Wed 24 July and find out more about the summer camp.
The camp has been a fantastic success in recent years and has been very enjoyable for children and helpers alike. This success has been as a result of many people offering their help, so please come forward and contribute to its continued success.
Registration forms will be made available shortly on the club’s website and parents can print them off and bring along the completed forms for their convenience on the evening.
