The London GAA Development Academy for 2015
The London GAA Development Academy for developing young Gaelic Footballers within the County will be resuming training in the coming weeks. 50 young men have been selected to join the Academy this year but any Club who feels that they have a player who is capable enough and most importantly, committed enough, is more than welcome to contact me and send them in for training.
The Development Academy has 3 key objectives:​
- ​To compete in Development Squad Tournaments in Britain and Ireland.
- ​To compete in the Minor All-Ireland Gaelic Football Championship.
- ​To produce a conveyor belt of players for our London Senior Football Clubs and the London Senior Footballers.
Colm Smith (Strength and Conditioning Coach for the London Senior Footballers) in conjunction with Paddy Curtin (Coach) will be taking the sessions. The Academy will begin training on Saturday, February 21st and continue every Saturday for a 10 week period.
As there will be an indoor and an outdoor component to the training sessions, all players are asked to bring runners and football boots to training. Also, there will be a charge to all the players of £20 for the 10 week training programme to cover expenses incurred. This money will be collected the first day so please ensure all players have it with them on the day.
