We also have guest coaches who appear regularly and pass on their knowledge including coaches from Derry City FC and the IFA. So if you would like to play for a friendly, progressive and successful team please come along to the training sessions held at Cahore on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Skills Development Centre

The importance of developing youth football is key to the future success of Draperstown Celtic and therefore we are pleased to announce the return of the highly successful Draperstown Celtic Skills Development Centre.

The focus of the Skills Development Centre is on developing skilled, confident and creative footballers while making the game fun to practice and play. We will teach the importance of good sportsmanship, respect for all and the value of winning but not at the expense of player character or performance development. The Centre embraces the concept of fun and enjoyment, which is important if children are to develop a lifelong love of football. It is designed for children from P3 – P7 of all abilities, to develop skills, understanding and most importantly make the game fun and enjoyable.
