Killarney Legion is set to become one of the first clubs in the county to appoint a full-time coaching development officer.
The club is currently advertising the position after giving the matter careful consideration for some time.
The successful candidate will have responsibility for the training and upskilling of underage coaches, player management and welfare, skill development and implementing health and fitness programmes for underage players.
Club PRO Enda Walshe remarked: “It is seen as being a pivotal and crucial step in the future of the club. The required candidate will have to have the necessary experience but, probably most crucially, be armed with excellent communication and leadership skills”.
“With the goal that each boy and girl in the club can realise their full potential, it is hoped to attract an energetic and dynamic individual,” he added.
A sub-committee has been appointed to oversee the process and it will be headed by club vice chairman Liam McGuire along with ladies’ club chairperson Ted Healy, juvenile management committee chair Donal O Leary, senior men’s player Jamie O Sullivan and former club officer Diarmuid Leen.
A full description of the role is available to view on the club website at www.legiongaa.com.
