Wishing all athletes and their families a very Happy Christmas and a healthy 2026.
Basketball training has been moving forward most satisfactorily this season so far. We have huge numbers turning out each week for exercising, ball skills and basketball training.
Well done to each of them and their families and carers for transporting the athletes to every session. We welcomed a group of new volunteers this season and they have blended in very nicely with our existing group.
Thanks to all the volunteers and Mr Martin Hehir, at the Presentation Sports Hall, for their support.
We held our annual Christmas party in Meitheal on Wednesday, December 10th last and a great night was had by all present.
A big thank you to Linda and Meitheal Staff, Mr Paul Scully from Photo Station who looked after the photographs on the night, the volunteers who prepared the gifts and assisted at the party and all the athlete members who danced and sang on the night.
Training resumes on Wednesday January 7th, and in the meantime a very Happy Christmas to everyone associated with Thurles Special Olympics Basketball Club.
