Crossmaglen Ladies Annual Pre-Season 7s

15th January 2018/in Uncategorised/by Sportlomo

Are you looking for a fun way to get your senior Ladies Team out training and preparing for the season ahead? Look no further! Crossmaglen Rangers will be welcoming clubs to St. Oliver Plunket Park for our annual Pre-Season 7s, on Saturday the 10th March 2018.

The tournament is in its 9th year and we have teams welcomed teams from all over Ireland to compete in this prestigious event which is growing in reputation and stature every year. We are delighted that our tournament received support from Stalwarts of Ulster Ladies football such as Clann Eireann, St. McCartans and of course Donamoyne. However our tournament is also very popular with the Dublin and Leinster sides and we have welcomed Foxrock Cabinteely and St. Maur’s to our town to compete.

Teams of all levels are welcome to attend and we endeavour to give all teams a chance to play as much football as possible. Our format is as previous years, in that we divide all entrants into four groups, who will play off to qualify for either the cup or the shield competition.

The future isn’t something we enter but rather something we create, so why not set the foundations for a successful season with your club by using our season opener to fit in some team bounding, football and a lot of fun.

G4G is a 12 week programme incorporating coaching sessions with fun non-competitive blitzes aimed at increasing participation in Ladies Gaelic Football.

What is Gaelic4Girls?

The programme is aimed to assist any struggling clubs, established clubs looking to expand their numbers at underage level or any potential areas where new clubs may evolve. The programme has proven to be a very useful tool for our clubs in terms of strengthening their underage structures by recruiting new players. Most Clubs have experienced at least a 50% retention rate of the new players following the programme. Any Club can apply to be a part of the programme and criteria has been outlined in the information booklet. It’s up to a Club to justify why they should be chosen.

What is Gaelic4Teens?

Gaelic4Teens is a participation based initiative run over 8 weeks aimed at increasing the retention rate of teenage girls aged 15-17 years in clubs. It is essential to create a clear player pathway in every club and it is vital that all clubs invest time in recruiting and retaining teenage girls in their structures. Through the Gaelic4Teens initiative clubs are provided with a new and fun avenue to retain these players usually subject to an increased level of dropout.

If you require any further information on the programmes, please don’t hesitate to contact me or Munster Provincial Development officer Kate Harrington on gdo.munster@lgfa.ie
