Running Clubs

Running Clubs

Launch of three new Athletics Clubs in South Dublin County. South Dublin Couth Sports Partnership (SDCSP) and Athletics Ireland (AI) Launched three new South Dublin County Running Clubs alongside Mayor Peter Kavanagh and TD Mark Ward with a 5km Walk/ Run event in Corkagh Park on Sunday September 26^th. During the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, SDCSP role was to engage as many people in physically activity through a wide range of new innovative programmes and support existing community clubs & organisations. During this time of uncertainty local people came together in both Bawnogue (Bawnogue Running Club) and Clondalkin Village (Clondalkin Flyers) to meet up for runs and encouraging people within these areas to join them. These runs became a huge success with numbers increasing on a weekly basis giving people a sense of community while working on their physical and mental health. With the success of the other groups North Clondalkin Running Club was formed as part of SDCSP North Clondalkin Sports Hub and supported by South Dublin County Partnership. SDCSP recognised how much these local leaders of the clubs had inspired their communities and looked at how they can support them. Community Sports Officer Ian Farrell contacted Athletics Ireland’s David Matthews, and both set out a plan to turn these running groups into Official AI Running Clubs by offering a Start-up Package and we now have three new official running Clubs in South Dublin County. The first step was to upskill the groups running leaders through a coach education course with AI which we had 26 (22 from South Dublin County) people trained up as running coaches followed by having the clubs set up committees and registering to be affiliated with AI. These clubs have now made out long term plans with the help of the SDCSP to ensure that they can grow and be sustainable.

Calisthenics

Calisthenics

Calisthenics is a sport that requires attainment of gross motor skills in order to be able to develop and achieve the movements involved in the sport. It is a sport that uses bodyweight exercises to produce movements. There is proof that states Fundamental Movement Skills help to develop a child’s overall gross motor skills, but what do we do when they can perform those basic movements already? We want to propose the use of Calisthenics as an advancement on those skills and the next logical progression to further develop children and their athletic ability. Aims To further improve upon fundamental movements skills and showcase that children are capable of enhancing their athletic ability and fundamental movement even further by using bodyweight exercises that are involved in calisthenics. To have more people using the Public Parks in South Dublin for the benefit of their health through calisthenics. Classes are be held during school hours by qualified coaches. We have 6 coaches trained up in local communities who will be the driving force for calisthenics. With SDCC implementing Calisthenics Equipment into parks and SDCSP teaching people how to use the equipment we believe it will create a culture of physical activity in the communities. The structure of the classes will last roughly 30 minutes depending on the school and their time frame available for this programme. An assessment chart is used that showcases the movements within Calisthenics that they will work on and help them understand what they are aiming to do and to have better terminology on the movements within the sport. These movements will be worked on and assessed over a 6-12-week period. This time period depends on the school’s availability towards the programme, so obviously the longer we work with the groups the more improvements that will be made. Results of the research conducted by our Community Sports Officer over a 12-week period with primary school pupils in 3^rd to 6^th class provide an insight into how much this can benefit the development of your children taking part in the Calisthenics programme.
