On Monday, December 16, GAA Coaching and Games Development will host a webinar designed to give coaches and players a better understanding of the new Gaelic football core rule enhancements that were passed by Special Congress last weekend.
Contributors on the webinar will include Football Review Committee members Éamonn Fitzmaurice, James Horan, Colm Collins and Colm Nally; GAA National Player Development Lead, Jack Cooney; and National Coach Development Coordinator Emma Byrne.
As well as outlining how the new rule enhancements will work, this webinar will also discuss coaching strategies a coach might employ to maximise their potential.
Those who register for the webinar can submit questions in advance which will be dealt with on the night. An FAQ resource for all stakeholders will be available from 6th December.
The webinar will also direct coaches to further resources around the new Gaelic football rule enhancements that will soon become available, both online and face to face.
This year Gaelic games coaches who are coaching in the F3 stage (youth/adult) of the Player Pathway were able to avail of innovative and practical three-hour ‘In-Game Coaching workshops’ that coached specific patterns of play using the full pitch.
The workshops were devised by a 22-strong group that includes Liam Moggan, Emma Byrne, Philip Kerr, Jack Cooney, Roger Keenan and Colm Nally, to name but a few and covered coaching outcomes such as developing and designing phases of play, coaching a set play, transitioning from defence to attack, and restarts.
In-Game Coaching Workshops will now be shaped around the new Gaelic football rule enhancements and the coaching opportunities provided by them. These workshops will be available by the end of January for youth and adult coaches in counties.
Registration for the webinar will open on 6th December via this link - https://learning.gaa.ie/node/289080
