2016 LGFA Gaelic4Girls Programme!

In 2013, the Gaelic4Girls programme was revamped and relaunched with an aim to making the programme more attractive to clubs, to assist any struggling clubs, established clubs looking to expand their numbers at underage level or any potential areas where new clubs may evolve.

The programme was a huge success since the new format has been implemented. 32 Clubs representing 23 Counties were successful in their application in 2015 resulting in a total of 1,635 girls participating on the programme, a staggering 1,337 of which were never registered with the Association before.

These statistics verify that the programme continues to be a successful player recruitment tool for clubs.

Any Club can apply to be a part of the programme. Criteria have been outlined and it’s up to a Club to justify why they should be chosen.

Clubs have between now and the 22nd January to apply. Following this, the County Development Officer, Provincial Development Officer and a member of the National Development Team, will discuss the applications and decide together, which two sites within a County are the most appropriate. A maximum of 2 sites can be selected from your County to participate in the Programme.

There are numerous benefits to the programme with the most obvious to increase numbers in your club, but also there is free training provided to your coaches and resources are provided free of charge for the promotion of a National Programme taking place in your club.

Application forms will be emailed to all club Secretaries and are also available on request from the Dublin LGFA office email info@dublinladiesgaelic.ie
