The Ladies Gaelic Football Association (LGFA) has confirmed the list of ambassadors who will assist in the delivery of the 2024 ZuCar Gaelic4Teens programme.
The list of 13 ambassadors, who include Tipperary's Samantha Lambert and Sinead Delahunty, is made up of past and present inter-county stars.
The programme got underway on Monday with the first coaching webinar.
This will be followed by five further education webinars with the ambassadors and the programme continues through to the National ZuCar Gaelic4Teens Festival Day, which is scheduled for April 27.
New ambassador Bernie Finlay (Dublin) joins returning ambassadors Fiona McHale (Mayo), Jackie Kinch (Wicklow), Laura Fleming (Roscommon), Bronagh McGrane (Louth), Cassandra Buckley (Kerry), Orlagh Farmer (Cork), Emily Martin (Down), Máire O'Shaughnessy (Meath), Sharon Courtney (Monaghan), Sinead Delahunty (Tipperary), Samantha Lambert (Tipperary) and Cathy Carey (Antrim).
Representatives from the 20 participating clubs will attend the sessions delivered by the ZuCar Gaelic4Teens ambassadors and engage with self-led modules between the various dates.
The clubs will also receive a visit from a ZuCar Gaelic4Teens ambassador or a county player to conduct a coaching session, and witness theory in action.
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 drop-out rate.
The 20 clubs taking part this year include Ardfinnan from Tipperary.
