Spikeball
Schedule : Training has now stopped. Updated June 2016
The children at St.Patrick’s were first introduced to Volleyball in 2006. Since then they have improved in technique and stamina. They have found a love for the game and get great satisfaction and enjoyment from it. Spikeball is popular with
the children here because it is FUN. A quality that any great sport has. Spike Volleyball is available for children in 5th and 6th. We look forward to recruiting new players next year. Enjoy your summer holidays and we look forward to another big year of sport next year.

Table Tennis
Schedule : 2.45 - 3.45 Table Tennis Tuesday
Children from 4th to 6th class enjoyed playing Table Tennis on Tuesday afternoons. Our huge
response from Fourth class shows how popular the sport is. We played our annual
(I hope) friendly match against Milltown in February and this year it was St.
Patrick’s turn to win. Let’s make it two in a row.

Gaelic Football
Schedule : Trainings are available for different teams at different times of the year. Currently there is no Gaelic training. Updated November 2017
Gaelic football has been a long running tradition since being first introduced ten years. Since then we have gone from strength to strength with teams taking part in Cumán na mBunscoil leagues every year. Aside from the obvious health benefits derived from gaelic football, the sport also develops social skills in children such as team work, as well as the discipline and determination needed to represent your team. We have a senior (U13) and an U10 boys team. A girls U11 team was also entered in September 2009 and has been making huge inroads. So if you are from 3rd class right up to 6th class there is a St Patricks team waiting for you!

GAMES :
Basketball
Schedule :
We are coming to the end of another enjoyable and successful year of basketball at St Patrick’s.
The boys and girls from 3rd to 6th class have worked hard on improving their skills, whilst co-operating each others in team games, and having great fun competing with each other!
We are nearing the end of our In-School League, which consisted of mixed teams from our senior classes. We are eagerly awaiting the outcomes of the finals!
We are looking forward to another great year of basketball to come. We are sure to see lots of children participating in
training this year. We know that the children on our senior teams, who have trained hard in previous years, will now be eager to participate against other schools in the league and the blitz!

Crosscountry
Schedule : All children from 1st to 6th have daily running during school time.
St Patricks has a long running tradition of producing great cross country runners. Every school year we participate in two different cross country meets. Children from first class upwards are encouraged to participate and a team is then selected for the championships.
