Tug of War TY Coaching Programme

Irish Tug of War Association and Cork Sports Partnership have teamed up to roll out a Secondary Schools Tug of War Programme. The programme will run across a limited number of Cork Secondary schools throughout the school year.

The aim of the programme is to introduce secondary school pupil (TY’s & 1st & 2nd years) to the Sport of Tug of War in a supportive environment through a peer led programme. 

Following a TY training day (10am – 12pm) delivered on school grounds, the TY students will lead Tug of War sessions for 1st year students in PE classes over 6 sessions supervised by a PE teacher. At the end of the 6 sessions an ITOWA Tutor will assess the TY students run a Mini Blitz in the school with the 1st & 2nd year students they have been working with.

How much does the programme cost?

This programme will cost €50 per school and a School Affiliation of €50.

The programme is heavily subsidised by the Irish Tug of War Association and Cork Sports Partnership.
