    Hi,
    Just wondering for anyone going to their local GAA club with their kids for their nursery section (age 4 - 8), how is the split between Football and Hurling organised?

    Thanks

    Our Boys academy is Saturdays. We have three age groups in our academy currently, 2007/2008/2009. Girls are on Sunday. Academy runs from 10-11.30. We do an hour of football and then 30 mins of the hurling one week and the opposite the following week.

    At this stage of the year our 2007's are mainly just playing blitzs against other clubs in preparation for January.

    When the weather is bad we revert to the sports hall but we stagger times. We start at 9 and finish at 12, so only one group at a time for a hour. We change the rotation inside. Two weeks hurling to one week football.

    The sessions themselves are mainly a four/five station circuit and loads of games.

    How do clubs decide the allocation between Football and Hurling?
    Strongest personality, democratic vote, WTF?

    Football is the poor relation in my club. Any young fella can kick a football but hurling is different.

    Love the attitude - exclude them early.

    There really is something pathological amongst the hurling community.

    there are plenty of football clubs in our area to cater for them.
    a life full of suffering awaits them
