This week got off to a great start. Our coach’s commitment to continuing to ensure Tralee Maguc remains a modern club, relevant to world our kids live in, was reaffirmed by the full attendance and engagement at a workshop by Dr. Rachel Sheehan.
This was the first of a series of workshops by Dr.Sheehan organised by the club about the science behind coaching kids, how to help them grow, and which tools we can use to help foster that growth.
Dr Sheehan has played underage basketball at every level for Ireland, played superleague and played professionally in Europe, so to say she has a unique view on our own sport would be putting it mildly.
Our U16 Girls Trials ate now complete and teams will be finalised this week!

Last, but not by not means least, we are so proud of Tralee Magic Player Holly O’Brien. Holly started in our academy at age 6 and last weekend she played for the Ireland U17 girls team in Belfast! Well done Holly!
As our club continues to grow and be successful, we will need more volunteers. Tralee Magic Basketball Team is run entirely by volunteers.
This year we are appealing to parents to volunteer with their child’s basketball team, from Academy all the way to the senior teams…not just coaches, to put out cones, to help organise teams, to help with some of the games…no Basketball experience needed!
Please speak to your childs coach at training if you can help out in any way, or email traleemagicbc@gmail.com
Please keep an eye on our social media pages for up to date info on training days, trials and ckub news. It is best to download the ClubZap app for everything relating to your childs team.
