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/Tourin 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.
