Our Mission Statement is a follows – Player Pathway: Our goal is to ensure all our young players who attend GAA coaching sessions have the opportunity to learn the game in an age appropriate manner in a fun filled learning environment.

Working with any Under 18-year-old, puts us in a role of responsibility with juveniles and to undertake this role there are standards that we need to maintain which are laid down in law by the Children First Act 2015. This act is fully supported by all GAA codes; GAA, Camogie, LGFA, Handball and Rounders. In this there are three criteria that we need to meet to undertake a role of responsibility with juveniles.
