LHA Inter Provincial Development 2019 (Leinster Girls Programme)

LHA Inter Provincial Development 2019 Update (Girls Programme)
The LHA Interprovincial assessments for girls are coming to a close over the coming few weeks. 500 players have been assessed (an additional 68 nominated players did not attend).
A training panel for the U16 inter-pros will be selected to train over the summer months. This programme will include a strength and conditioning component. Players will be strongly encouraged to take their family holidays and a forced break will be included in the programme to ensure all get a break.
29 players on national panels do not join the programmes until after they are released by Ireland. As 27 of these will be trialling for the U18 team next August it’s unlikely that we will run a major summer development programme for players not involved in the national programmes.

Following the initial assessments, a large group of players have been invited to attend 2 x development sessions. The players will also be taking part in short/small sided games next Sunday in Bray HC/Loreto Bray from 12:00 – 15:00. That will conclude the Stage 1 assessment/development phase for this group of players.
After the blitz, the coaching team will identify a number of players to be brought back for evaluation during 2019-20 season. The evaluations will involve players born 2005 and 2006, from which the 2020 interprovincial training and development squads will be selected.
