County Coaching Officer, Gary Brady and the County Board request each club in Longford to send their Coaching Officer, and coaches working with adult teams to attend this BI training.

Cardiac Screening
We hope to hold professional cardiac screenings in the club shortly to look for any irregular heart patterns in players and members of the wider public. Healthy Hearts, Healthy Lives, who will carry out the tests, facilitates locally arranged cardiac screening clinics for those aged 14-35. It also aims to raise awareness of conditions that can lead to Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS). The screening costs €45 per person. Anyone interested in being screened please contact Bridie Reilly on 086 3332863 or any committee member. For more on cardiac screening check out the player welfare link
