Gasice Applicant Letter 2020

At Bray Hockey Club, we love our Junior players.

Below is a fantastic letter we received from a Gaisce student & Bray Hockey Club member who reached out looking to help with our Juniors.

We think this letter is just brilliant and we wanted to share how amazing our Junior members truly are!

If you know somebody who would like to volunteer with the club for their Gaisce award, drop us an email gaisce@brayhockeyclub.ie

"I am in Transition Year in St Gerards School in Bray. I am currently on the U16s girls hockey team in Bray Hockey club. I would really like to take this opportunity to help out in Bray Hockey club as part of my community involvement for Gaisce, along with other school friends who also hope to avail of this experience. 

This will be my third year of being a member in Bray Hockey club. I definitely feel as if I have missed out playing hockey with Bray Hockey club as I did not play here when I was younger. I think it is amazing to see children from a very young age playing hockey, having fun with their friends, and seeing them get progressively better as they get older. 

I have been playing hockey myself for 9 years now and I can say that without a doubt it is my favourite sport. I love everything about the game and I would love to be able to referee/help out with the younger teams. I have always been great with kids and I think this would really help me to my best ability when helping the younger teams. As being a hockey player, I think we can all agree that having a coach who is enthusiastic
about the game inspires us to play better whilst having fun. 

I would be very grateful to avail of this opportunity of doing Gaisce with Bray Hockey club. I hope to be considered as a candidate for this experience. Please let me know if you have any further questions or would like any more information concerning my application. 

Looking forward to hearing from you"
