EcoMerit was delighted to contribute to a Coral Leisure training event conducted recently with their Energy Champions Team in Portlaoise. 
The training covered the global context for action, barriers and benefits to resource efficiency within Coral Leisure and priorities for action in the coming year.
This training was held at Coral Leisure’s inaugural Energy Champion meeting and marked a huge step in how far this role has come and how valued it is. Each Energy Champion has done invaluable work for their own Centres and it must be recognised and given the regard it deserves. It was the first time that the majority of those in the room met; to see the sharing of ideas, as well as the shared enthusiasm for the role, made the entire day worthwhile.
Environmental consciousness is the future for most businesses, as they can see the multitude of benefits that are associated with a greener view, is it any wonder that giants like Microsoft are declaring that they will be carbon negative by 2030.  If Coral Leisure wants to continue to lead the way in our own industry, then the Energy Champion role must grow and evolve as well, along with the continued partnership and support from Ecomerit.
“Coral Leisure’s main goal was to create a network to allow each Energy Champion in Coral Leisure to take full advantage of each other’s experience, resources, and ideas. We have a great pool of talent across the group and it is a huge benefit to be able to tap into this and help each other.  
This was the first step in taking the Energy Champion role in a new direction and giving it the status and respect it deserves.  Thanks to Camillus our “Enthusiastic Energy Engineer” for all his work.
And thanks to Bobby and Christian of Ecomerit for joining us and not only educating but helping to steer us in the right direction.”  ​

We have just launched our School Tour Programme for 2020 and we are delighted to announce it is now open for bookings. Our aim is to cater for all age groups with the emphasis being on fun & fitness. All our activities are based on the principals of fitness and core fundamental movement skills.  In 2019 we catered for a total of 35 schools thorough the summer with our largest school having 110 pupils.
 
Your school can choose either a half day or a full day option.

• The Half Day Option is available from 9.30-1.00pm  
• The Full Day Option is available from 9.30am to 3.00pm.

• Price: Half Day Option Section 1 & Section 2 Included €13 per child
• Price:  Full Day Option Section 1, 2 & 3 Included €16 per child

 
The day is split into 3 sections:
Section 1
Ice Breakers & Invasion Games
During the early morning slot the instructors build a rapport with the students to set the tone for the day. This is best achieved by fun icebreakers. Invasion games such as soccer, football, basketball, dodge ball+ much more. Finally we finish off the morning slot with some parachute games and fun on our bouncy castles & brand new target game.
 
Section 2
Pool Inflatable
The second part of the day is spent in the pool on our 20m obstacle inflatable course. This is hugely popular & great fun
 
Section 3
Team building
Finally after some lunch it’s off to do some Team Building & obstacle courses in the Sports Hall. Here the instructors will take a more passive role and set tasks for the students to solve themselves. To finish the day we have an obstacle course and relay race designed on the principals of fitness.
 
Start and finish times can be accommodated to suit your travel requirements. The activities can also be accommodated to suit your pupil’s needs. Please don’t hesitate to contact me on 064-66-36554 or alternatively you can email me on dan.odonoghue@killarneyleisure.com
