Celtic is sending a team of highly-qualified coaches to Ireland to provide a series of five-day coaching courses. This will be the sixth time that Irish youngsters will have the opportunity to train and play with coaches from Celtic on home soil. Our coaching staff will not only be working on individual skills and tactics during the courses, but they will be sharing the ethos and spirit that make Celtic such a special club. Vital to any success in football is the quality of coaching, and under the guidance of Head of Youth at Celtic, Neil Lennon, we’ve got some of the best in the business.
