Swimming Lessons for some classes take place in the first school term every year.
Hurling/Camogie/Gaelic Football
Visiting sports coaches visit our school every year and pupils in all classes are trained in the skills of hurling/camogie, football, tag rugby, spikeball and soccer. The local GAA (Cappoquin/Affane GAA club) and (Cappoquin Camogie Club) camogie clubs work closely with the school and support us in many ways. Lunchtime training in hurling/camogie and gaelic football takes place on designated days throughout the school year. Pupils get the opportunity to experience and participate in a range of sporting activities. Each year the school takes part in a variety of primary school competitions in gaelic football, hurling and camogie.
Soccer
We also have a close relationship with our local soccer club, Cappoquin FC, which is situated within walking distance of the school. The club make their facilities (pitch, astro pitch and walkway) available to the school to use. Many of the children in our school play for the underage club, Cappoquin Railway Football Club. Many children in the older classes regularly play soccer on the yard at break times. The school enter teams in the FAI 5 a side tournament on an annual basis as well as other indoor competitions as they arise.
