They had about 12 on the sideline, using video cameras, ipads, notebooks etc.. Crazy stuff.
Also , mentioned at the same match, the amount of 'maor's and water bottle carriers invading the pitch whenever there was a free or a player down... its a fecking epidemic now !
Was at the clubs minor championship the other night , and it was the same ! Underage players with water bottles for the Minors on the pitch, must have been about 6 boys&girls running on !!!
Stupidity !:rolleyes:
I mentioned the amount of 'staff' Dublin had nearly 18mths ago !
A bit crazy ,when they cant do it on the pitch...

All the underage teams from Dublin and Cork are the 2 i have noticed
Come with large backroom teams and panels fully kitted out
The kilkenny panels are told to wear something black and amber
Going to the matches if they have it.

My daughter has been involved in underage squads for the past few years.
A jumper is the extent of gear that is provided.
As prev poster said, its a case of "just wear what ever b&a gear you have".
So you have girls wearing different shorts and socks.
It just looks 'amateurish' , if you know what i mean.
Other counties arrive in county tracksuit, gear bag, all wearing same shorts and socks. It just gives a good impression, and helps the girls feel part of something important.
I know people will say "its only gear " or whatever, but if other counties can do it, why cant ours !?

Years ago, lads starting training/playing at U12 level, while nowadays it's starting at U6s.
I'd love to see a report on the effect of this - maybe a dissertation for some Sports Science student.
Are players more tired/burnt out/fed up/drained etc. earlier these days. Starting so early and by the times lads are 17, they must be shattered in a way. Apply that if they play football and hurling.
Re: Academy/development squads. I think a good solution, or something that would help would be more games. Imagine all underage players getting an extra, say, 8 games with their clubs. Would that not be more beneficial than 30 lads getting 'training' with a development/academy squad on a Saturday morning.
The games to training ratio must be better. Games is where players, especially underage players learn.
Ask young lads, what do you want to do at training? The vast majority will say play a match.
Give them what they want and I guarantee that retention levels, in terms of keeping at it, will improve.
Undoubtedly .
Depends on the age group though.
At very young ages the emphasis should be on how to run/jump correctly -
Then as they progress/get older the training should then become more tactical/drills etc.
But as you say, all they want to do is play..

A few words from the Thomastown manager.
“I did enjoy my time with Ballyhale and I took a year out because I hadn't had a break between playing and managing. I didn't think I was going to spend as much time at home as I have in the last 12 months. For me, it was to get back involved. I wouldn't manage against my own club Ballyhale in the senior ranks so Thomastown are a club just down the road from myself so I'm looking forward to getting involved with them. Will I go into inter-county management down the line? It’s a good question that I don't have the answer to at this moment in time. I’m enjoying it, my children are starting to get older, they're starting to get more independent and that means there are opportunities that will afford themselves. We'll see how it goes. Once you're enjoying things then you just don't know what's going to come around the corner."
