Thomond Community College and Treaty United have launched a new partnership that is designed to bring significant mutual benefit to the Limerick City secondary school and the only senior soccer club in the Mid West.
The partnership “aims to become a nursery for the emerging soccer talent in the Limerick area, providing a high standard of facilities, coaching, training equipment and a structured environment that will enable the holistic development of student athletes.”
The partnership will allow Treaty United to use Thomond Community College facilities for their academy training base and the club will aim to secure funding to improve the facilities for the future.
Thomond Community College football teams will have access to coaching from various Treaty United coaches and football camps will also take place at the venue as well as primary school soccer leagues. It is the first partnership of its kind involving Treaty United FC.
Speaking at the official launch event Vivienne Hogan, Thomond Community College Principal, highlighted how this unique partnership hopes to “have a huge impact on the local community by enhancing sports and sporting facilities in the area and most importantly providing a pathway for our students to reach their full potential both physically and academically.”
Gerry McAnaney, President of the FAI, who was guest of honour at the event, addressed all the students present reminding them that “the most important thing is to enjoy your sport, the rest will follow suit”.
