The programme will help clubs to retain their current playing bases while also recruiting players in the 13-17 age bracket
The Ladies Gaelic Football Association (LGFA) has confirmed the list of 20 clubs selected to take part in the 2024 ZuCar Gaelic4Teens programme.
They will include Ardfinnan from Tipperary
Following a hugely successful pilot in 2017, Gaelic4Teens has grown considerably to over double in size, and this programme will help clubs to retain their current playing bases while also recruiting players in the 13-17 age bracket, which has been identified as a group with a high dropout rate.
For the third year, the LGFA will partner with Gaelic4Teens sponsors ZuCar, the association’s Official Performance Partner and sponsor of the All-Ireland Under 18 Championships, to roll out the programme.
The 2024 ZuCar Gaelic4Teens programme will involve multiple educational webinars for coaches, players and parents; club coach observation visits and a festival day.
The delivery of the programme will be supported by the LGFA’s ZuCar Gaelic4Teens ambassadors.
The programme will work closely with coaches, influencing the content of their coaching sessions as well as establishing the best ways for coaches to communicate and engage with their players. In addition, the programme will examine the coaching environment required to ensure that the long-term development of players is being facilitated in the club.
The programme will be monitored and evaluated to ensure that it achieves the aim of having a direct impact on the retention of players.
