SPORTS SHORTS

•Power Soccer School of Excellence is now offering birthday parties for children with a sportingbent. The school’s main theme is soccer, but it boasts skilled coaches who can provide other sports birthday parties if needed. According to John Power, the idea is simple - a gentle warm up with fun active games, skills work, and then matches in a World Cup Tournament. The parties are available for all ages, and advanced booking is advised. Power Soccer has been providing soccer coaching in schools and crèches in Galway county for 10 years with all-year-round indoor coaching centres in Barna, Bushypark, Claregalway, Clifden, Headford, Killannin, Lettermore, Loughrea, Moycullen, Oranmore and Salthill.
