🎃⚽ WHAT A CAMP WE HAD! ⚽🎃

Two fantastic days of football, friendships, development, fun and plenty of Halloween madness! 👻

From brilliant football and great weather to our impromtu Halloween disco, costumes, laughs and 'trick or treating', this really was one of our best camps to date. The smiles on the kids' faces said it all, and we hope every single one of you had the best time! Be sure to check out our girls in their 80s and 90s/parents inspired "top-bin-bags" costumes in a reel coming later 😆

As always, there was unbelievable football on display from both our boys and girls. Choosing our winners this time around was incredibly difficult. We had so many talented players showing fantastic attitudes, respect, sportsmanship and all-round great manners throughout the two days.

🏆 HALLOWEEN CAMP GROUP WINNERS

🥇 Group 1 – Caiden McCloskey
🥇 Group 2 – Kyra Boyle
🥇 Group 3 – Aoibheann Bonner
🥇 Group 4 – Aoibheann Gallagher
🥇 Group 5 – Ollie Campbell
🥇 Group 6 – Fionn McHugh

A massive well done to you all! We were seriously impressed with your performances throughout the drills and matches, but just as importantly, your attitude and application over the two days. All thoroughly deserved! 👏

👻 HALLOWEEN DRESS-UP & TRICK OR TREAT!

We had over 30 fantastic costumes arrive this morning, and a huge well done to everyone who made the effort to dress up. It was brilliant to see so many of you getting into the Halloween spirit!

A special round of applause for 🏆 Cillian Martin, who arrived as the VAR referee, complete with his cloak, to really Halloween it off! 😂👏 An absolutely brilliant costume and a clear favourite with everyone!

We also had plenty of fun with our "Trick or Treat" basket, where everyone got to pick their surprise prize!

Some were delighted with their Nike socks or shin pads... others perhaps a little less impressed with their Tinsel, Advent Calendars or bag of Banshees! 😂😂

It was all part of the fun, and we hope you enjoyed every minute of it!

❤️ THANK YOU!

To all the boys and girls who attended, and to the parents and families who continue to support Oliver Performance Coaching, thank you so much.

Camps like this are what it's all about. Creating an environment where children can develop as footballers, make friendships, build confidence and, most importantly, have an absolute ball along the way.

We are already looking forward to the next one!

See you all at the next camp and Happy Halloween ⚽🎃

🎃⚽ WHAT A FANTASTIC TWO DAYS AT SWILLY PARK! ⚽🎃

Another brilliant Halloween camp in the books, and what a couple of days we've had! 🖤💛

We were extremely lucky that the weather was largely on our side, although I don't think a bit of rain would have bothered these kids one bit! They got stuck in, listened, learned, worked hard, had fun and, most importantly, continued to develop as players. 👏

One of the best things about our camps is seeing so many different clubs come together. We welcomed players from Glen Rovers, Kilmacrennan Celtic, Glenree, Letterkenny Rovers, Milford United and many more! 🤝⚽

It was fantastic to see players mixing with new teammates, working alongside one another, making friends and pushing each other to improve day by day. The standard throughout the camp was brilliant, but just as impressive were the attitudes, manners and willingness to learn shown by the kids. It's always a pleasure to see when we're at Swilly Park! ❤️

🏆 HALLOWEEN CAMP AWARDS 🏆

We had four standout players whom we were delighted to recognise at our awards ceremony:

🥇 Group 1: Ronan Byrne — Glen Rovers
🥇 Group 2: Jensen Harvey — Letterkenny Rovers
🥇 Group 3: Caoimhe Sweeney — Swilly Rovers
🥇 Group 4: Cian McFadden — Glenea United

A massive congratulations to all four! 👏 You demonstrated fantastic attitude, skill, talent, listening skills and development throughout the camp. You should all be very proud, and it was an absolute pleasure to coach you! 🙌

A huge THANK YOU to every player who attended, and to the parents who continue to support what we do at Oliver Performance Coaching. Camps like these are about so much more than football. They're about confidence, friendships, learning, respect and giving every player the opportunity to improve in a positive environment. 🖤💛

We've had a fantastic few days, and we hope to see you all back at Swilly Park in 2027 but for now enjoy the rest of your Halloween Break and all the trick or treating and fun it brings! 👀⚽

Keep your eyes peeled for future camp announcements. We can't wait to do it all again!

LETTERKENNY..... WE WILL SEE YOU ALL THURSDAY!

BIG NEWS | OPC × GYMLIVE () 💪

Ever wondered how fit your child really is? How fast are they? How do they compare with other players their age? And what areas could they improve to become a better all-round athlete?

Well, now they’ll have the opportunity to find out! 📊

This Saturday, we’re hosting an ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE TESTING DAY for all players aged 9+ through our new collaboration with GymLive and their expert coaches.

📍 Venue: Leckview Astro
📅 Saturday, 24th October
⏰ 2pm–4pm
🎟️ FREE TO ATTEND!

Here players will take part in a series of tests led by Strength & Conditioning coaches, assessing their:

⚡ Speed and acceleration
💪 Strength and power
🏃 Endurance and fitness
📊 Overall athletic performance

Every player will receive their own personalised fitness stat card and leaderboard position, showing their current results, how they compare with their peers and where they can improve.

This gives every player a starting point, individual targets to work towards and something measurable to aim for!

And this is just the beginning.

Through our new OPC × GYMLIVE partnership, players can continue working on their development throughout the winter, tracking their progress before returning for reassessment after three months.... all from home without any traffic!

ASSESS. TRAIN. TRACK. RETEST. IMPROVE.📈

We're currently waiting on the ticket link so everyone can book their FREE place. We'll share it with you asap!

But we wanted to give everyone a heads-up early so you can get Saturday in the diary!

WHY WE BELIEVE THIS IS SO VALUABLE

As parents and coaches, we all want to know that our kids are developing, improving and getting the most out of themselves. But how often do we actually have measurable information showing us where they are right now and what they could achieve with the right work?

That's what excites us so much about this programme.

Saturday gives players a chance to discover their current fitness levels, see how they compare with their peers and identify the areas where they can improve. But more importantly, it gives them something to quietly work on over the winter months and it builds healthy lifestyle habits!
