Last night in the Clubhouse our Under 17 and 18 Premier players and their parents were introduced to Danny Crowley (pictured) Head of Coláiste Íde's Soccer programme and were made aware of the opportunities that exist at third level education for players who qualify football wise as well as academically for the Coláiste Íde programme, which could in turn possibly lead to full time soccer scholarships in the United States.
Danny Crowley who has headed the football scholarship programme in Coláiste Íde for the past 20 years outlined the standards required for application from a football and an academic point of view and he highlighted the opportunities that exist in colleges in the United States for players who achieve these standards through their Leaving Cert, their football ability and how they adapt to the Coláiste Íde programme should they be accepted.
If accepted on to the Sport, Recreation & Exercise (Soccer) programme in Coláiste Íde students will study a number of subjects including soccer coaching, exercise & fitness, nutrition, sport & recreation studies, sports anatomy & physiology, sports injury prevention, teamworking and work experience
In his presentation Danny gave examples of players who have achieved great success from being part of the programme - one of the main ones being Dave Mc Kay who played Schoolboy football with St Kevin's Boys and who has graduated through the Coláiste Íde programme and US Universities to become Head of Sport Science at MLS side Orlando City.
St Kevin's Boys Club are delighted to have this ongoing link with Coláiste Íde and be in a position to help offer our players an extra option when it comes to a choice of further education.
