As traditional hurling and football sessions have wound down for our U6s, U7s & U8s, it’s worth looking at a few indoor options (where allowed) over the winter to keep them active, meeting friends and help to develop a few fundamental movement skills

This thread is worth reading for those who have a view on the long term development of their GAA club
Counties look at Dublin/Limerick, wondering how do we catch up?
Most solutions we hear about are short term & look at senior intercounty as the be all & end all.
Dublins success wasn't built in days, weeks or months.
