Gaelic 4 Girls 2019: Applications Now Open

  • Oct 09,2018

NOW is the time to apply for the 2019 Gaelic4Girls programme.

This year, Gaelic4Girls went down a storm in 43 clubs across Ireland and Britain.

2018 saw the LGFA celebrate the 10th anniversary of the scheme, with Armagh star Aimee Mackin acting as Gaelic4Girls ambassador and featuring in a series of hugely-popular promotional videos.

In Ireland, 33 clubs representing 21 counties took part in the Gaelic4Girls programme while in Britain, 10 clubs from counties London, Warwickshire and Scotland participated.

Over 1600 girls aged between 8-12 years participated in Gaelic4Girls – a huge number of players who have been exposed to Ladies Gaelic Football and a club setting for the first time.

The selected clubs attended training evenings before the programme was rolled out.

This is a joint initiative between National and clubs in Ulster. G4G is a 12 week programme incorporating coaching sessions with fun non-competitive blitzes aimed at increasing participation in Ladies Gaelic Football. The programme targets girls aged between 8 – 12 years who are not currently registered with a Ladies Gaelic Football club. In essence, this is a tool to attract new players.


What are the aims of the Gaelic4Girls Programme?

  • To increase the numbers of girls playing Ladies Gaelic football in a club.
  • To provide a fun, 12 week programme of Ladies Gaelic Football activities to attract girls aged 8 – 12 to the club.
  • To support a Club in increasing their number of players, and integrate those new players into existing teams.
  • To develop athletic and social skills for girls in a safe and nurturing environment.
