Football Philosophy

"We aim to provide an environment that promotes; Inclusivity, Opportunity, Teamwork, Development and most of all Fun"

Now this is not where we get preachy but we would like to let people know what we're about.

Our focus for all of our players is to give them the best possible coaching that they can get, especially at a young age. We are very concious that Colga could be the first experience of football for a lot of kids and it needs to be both fun, inclusive and appropriate. This means getting the right coaching in place for all our age groups.

We work on developing our players and our coaches as much as we can. Many of our coaches have taken the FAI Kick Start 1 course and are moving onto Kick Start 2. This allows us to create the proper FAI approved development structures for players up to U12 level.

For our cadet players, up to U11, we focus on creating an environment where players of all abilities are coached and play together. This helps to create an environment where teamwork and cooperation are the fundamental principles that each player learns and allows kids to grow and improve together over time. We always enter teams of overall equal ability into the cadet tournaments.
