Why not join your local club? They'd be delighted with a new member and it's not like you'd be starting off on the first team, there's really no better place to learn how to play gaelic football better. It's not like a junior a/b/c team is going to be inflicting Donegal-style training on its players so you'd be well able to fit it in enough to keep up.

An but I'm pants that's the thing.
Ok I can jog 5km without really breaking a sweat, I've a bit of podge on the belly.

But sure I'd be mortified turning up.
I can barely remember the rules of play.

If their is a team out there, designed for a bunch of tits Id bob along.

I doubt the other lads are putting as much thought into the game as you are even now, and half the junior players I've seen would make be able to make a spare tire business from their stomachs.

For most of those it's just a bit of enjoyment and an excuse to blow off steam. I'm sure if you tell the club your situation they'll be very happy to help you out, and I doubt you'll stand out much from most of the players you'll be around to start off. I''m sure there's an embarrassment for the person themselves going the first time but clubs these days absolutely love having new players coming in no matter their skill level and all they'll want to do is help you improve. After a week you won't think twice about being embarrassed.

Your right ya know, I haven't played for a team, ever really.

So I don't know how it works. Junior senior Etc, training and all that.

I guess I just have to find a club with a low level junior.

Theres a lot of clubs looking for players for their teams down the leagues. In Dublin the leagues go to Division 10. Check out a few clubs websites and get the contact. Lucan, Bridgids, St Marks might be able to help.
You would be surprised how a few training sessions would have you back in business again. A lot of the lads play well into their 30s for a bit of social football
