Who we cater for:
The club altered the age group it caters for in 2007 from 13-18 to 13-16 years. It is hoped that this younger age group will benefit more from the club experience as they will be of similar age and will be able to relate to each other better.
The Kick Back Cafe
Shannon now has a Youth Café for young people aged 16-21 in the same venue as the youth club. This runs from 5-10p.m. on Fridays and Saturday from 4-9pm and is known as The Kick Back Café or KBC to those in the know.
