Our Teams

Donacarney Celtic Football Club is primarily a school boys/girls football club, made up of 22 teams with over 300 players. We are represented on 3 schoolboy/girls leagues in Drogheda, NDSL, and Metropolitan Girls League (MGL).

With over 40 coaches taking excellent care of the football on a weekly basis. Our club caters for all children wishing to play football from 5 years to 18 years old, and with two senior squads, it allows our member to follow a pathway right through into senior football.

In late 2013 we moved into our new home facilities in Castlemartin in Bettystown, Here we have 2 full-size pitches and 1, 7-a-side pitch (2 x 5-aside) along with Club House and dressing rooms.

Match & Training Guidelines:

Scheduled Matches

• Scheduled Games will be played on Weekends at both home and away. You need to arrive half an hour before kick off for warm up session.
• Confirmation of the time and venue will be sent (via WhatsApp or Teamer) during the week and coaches will require a speedy reply on your availability so they can plan the team and ensure sufficient numbers.

Training Venue

• Training takes place midweek during season at the Grammar School on the Mornington Road.

Timekeeping

• Arrive on time at your designated training time as advised by your teams coach.
• We will be asked to leave the training pitch promptly at the end of training so the next team can start there session.

Training Attire

• Players to arrive to training kitted out and ready to train before our start time.
• It is important to dress appropriately when training or playing in cold weather.
• Shin guards must be worn by all players without exception.

Hydrate & Reuse your bottle

• We advise your child to drink fluids, before, during and after practices and games, even in the cold weather, to avoid dehydration.
• Your child should have his or her own personalized water bottle. Help our club Go Green – Avoid single use plastic bottles and always take home your bottle after training and matches.

Parental Supervision

• Due to the age of our younger players we will require that a parent or designated guardian stay onsite for the hour long training session and the games.
