GAA for all

This strategy aims to ensure equal opportunities in Gaelic Games for individuals with disabilities and special needs. Clubs are encouraged to actively include such individuals in their programs, aligning with DSNI guidelines. The initiative comprises four key development strands: Coach Education, Regional Have a Go Days, School Blitzes, and a Coaching Booklet. The Coach Education Workshop Programme covers various units focusing on inclusion and practical application. Additionally, there are Have a Go events in schools, regional blitzes for players, and a proposal for school coaching schemes. The Coaching Booklet includes content on fundamental skills and adapted games. This strategy emphasizes the importance of inclusivity and accessibility in Gaelic Games.
