COVID-19 RESOURCES
The Gaelic Games family has created an extensive catalogue of resources to support clubs navigate challenges brought about by Covid-19.
Most recently, they launched ‘Be Ready to Play’, a Coaching and Sport Science programme in association with UPMC, official healthcare partner of the GAA and GPA, that will be delivered via webinars, website programmes, instructional videos and live online sessions. The programme is a holistic coaching and performance plan that will be of great benefit to all club coaches and players, male, female, adult, and youth alike. It will help them return to training post Covid in a way that will hopefully increase enjoyment, performance, and participation, while simultaneously reducing the risk of injury.
Further details about the Be Ready to Play programme, as well as links to other helpful external resources, can be found below.
