MONAGHAN CREDIT UNION CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE MINI LEAGUES
Down through the years Monaghan United FC have been able to offer the children of Monaghan aged from 5 to 12 great coaching and fun playing football on Sunday mornings through the Mini Leagues Programme. This has been made possible by the sponsorship of Monaghan Credit Union and without them, the cost of providing the high level of football to the children of Monaghan would be out of reach for most families.

Monaghan United Club Promotions Officer, Julie-Ann Sherlock, Shane McCabe, Mini Leagues, Euan Treanor, Monaghan United Coach, Ronnie Gillanders, Chairman Monaghan Credit Union, Ronan Gallagher, Mini Leagues and Joan Maxwell, Monaghan Credit Union Sponsorship & Youth Officer.
Monaghan United FC would like to thank the Monaghan Credit Union for their continued support in aiding their efforts to ensure the children of Monaghan have an opportunity to have fun while learning more about football.

Under 11 MSDL
With the final round of matches in the inaugural Under11 MSDL this Friday we congratulate all 150 payers for their participation. This competition couldn't have taken place were it not for the wonderful support of the adults involved who gave up so much of their spare time for the training and coaching the many other tasks that were involved.
The Final games will take place Friday night at Monaghan United FC's Regional Development Centre. All Monaghan United Players should be there at 6.30pm for a 7pm kick off and presentation of medals after.
MINI LEAGUES - SENIOR MENTORS
With the Monaghan United Senior team training at the Regional Development Centre more regularly for the coming season, children participating in the Mini Leagues will reap the rewards!
On Sunday 21st of February, following pre-season training on Saturday, the Monaghan United senior team will be taking up their roles as mentors for the youngest club members.
This programme will see Senior Squad members acting as coaches to the mini leagues and giving them advice and encouragement as they strive to become successful footballers. The first hand knowledge of League of Ireland football that the mentors will impart on the youngsters will hopefully help them to develop and feel a desire to follow in their hero's footsteps.
Children participating in the Mini Leagues will also get the opportunity to come into the dressing room before LOI games to see how the team prepare and will get the chance to be mascot or ball boys at games.
Any Children wishing to play football at Monaghan United's Mini Leagues should come along this Sunday Morning and register. Registration of €30 for the second half of the season may be made to Coaches or Julie-Ann on Sunday mornings.
Children aged from 5yrs - 8yrs play at 11.a.m. to 12 noon and 9yrs-12yrs play from noon to 1.p.m. A coach and separate cage will be provided if there are enough girls who wish to play football.
The first coaching session with the Senior players on Sunday 21st February is open to children from all clubs or those who are not currently with any club. Come and join the fun!
