    So you’ve been inactive for over 96 weeks and have an address you could put down for the new club?

    Would need to check what the deadlines are in the county for accepting transfers too.

    Don't think the schools part is relevant. But where you live is. What club parish to you reside in ?

    I haven’t played for a club in 8 years

    Taken from GAA Official Guide Section 6.3. which might help depending on where ye lived when you were born.
    A player shall be considered
    to have an ‘Other Relevant Connection’:
    (a) With a particular County if:
    (i) The player’s parents at the time of the
    member’s birth were permanently resident in
    that County.
    (ii) That County is the County of the first Club of
    Chapter 6 GA
    MES &
    COMPETITIONS
    73
    either of his parents.
    (b) With a Particular Club if:
    (i) The player’s parents were at the time of his birth
    permanently resident in the present Catchment
    Area of that Club.
    (ii) In the case of a player whose parents were
    permanently resident in Co. Dublin at the time
    of this birth, that Club was the First Club of
    either of his parents.
    (iii) County Bye-Laws either defined generally or for
    specific cases that particular factors give rise to
    such a connection.

    I suggest contacting the secretary of the club you wish to play for for advice.

    Seems like you're overthinking it. If you havent played for the club where you now live, they wont even know you exist. Just join your "home" club, use your parents address and that's it.

    There's an old rule in cork that you can transfer to the club of your father regardless of address. Probably very out of date in modern times

    .I would imagine you still need to transfer. New club secretary can do it online, just contact them and and provide details of your old club. No harm to contact them to give them advance notice. Old club's secretary will get an email to approve the transfer. Will go through both provincial councils as a matter of form, no issue once old club gives it the thumbs up.

    I wonder is it to late?

    No, just sign up for the club you want to play for. After 3 years, it wont be questioned.

    When I moved from Kerry to Meath, i went to sign up with the local club. No messing around with transfers, contacting people etc. I paid my membership and played. That was after playing for my home club up until the day I left, no break from playing for any amount of time.

    Unless you're a county player or a top tier club player, and no offence but after 3 years away from the game this is unlikely, you'll be fine to just play for the club you want to play for.

    Don't over think it.
