The GAA Fun Do Learning Resource Pack is the product of an enormous amount of research and preparation and I want to extend my thanks to all those who have had an input into this vital resource. It is designed to promote participation for all, and to present Gaelic games as a fun recreation for our youth as they learn the skills and techniques of Gaelic games in a healthy, structured and relaxed environment.
The programme is intended to address the social, physical and psychological needs of young players and as such is an exciting and progressive development for the Association. It aims to cater for different levels of development, for differing abilities and needs and to develop a sense of fair play with an overall purpose of encouraging children to reach their full potential.
There are many different skills involved in the game of Gaelic Football. The skills can be broadly broken down into those that involve Gaining Possession, Maintaining Possession, Releasing Possession and Contesting Possession. Many of these skills can be performed on the ground, without the need to get the ball into the hand and out of the hand.
There are many different skills involved in the game of hurling. These can be broadly broken down into those that involve Gaining Possession, Maintaining Possession, Releasing Possession, Contesting Possession and other skills that facilitate the playing of Hurling, called Other Skills.
