Starting on Monday, Walsh spent his days at Wando High School in Mount Pleasant teaching high schoolers the Gaelic games. Walsh saw many physical education classes over the course of three days at Wando.

Wednesday evening, Walsh ran the clubs training session. He took the club through a great warm-up followed by some new drills. Walsh concluded with a game of backs and forwards then lead the club through a series of stretches.

Having Cormac visit Charleston was a fantastic experience. It's always good to mix things up and get new training ideas within our club.
