Ranelagh Gaels Juvenile Academy resumes on Saturday, May 1 at 10.30am.

It is important to note that the Academy is completely full and if your child isn't already registered as a member of Ranelagh Gaels please do not bring them along as we do not currently have capacity for any more new joiners.

Due to space constraints brought about by Covid-19 restrictions we have had to put a limit on the number attending our Juvenile Academy and with 200 children already registered we are fully booked.

The Academy is open to children aged five-to-seven-years-old - born before May 2016 - and will take place on the all-weather rugby pitch in UCD. You can find a map showing the location here.

Ranelagh Gaels Juvenile Academy will run every Saturday until June 26, meaning that our young players will have a great chance to get playing the games they love after a lengthy enforced break.

It is club policy to welcome all and any new players of the appropriate age to our Academy, but unfortunately we aren't currently in a position to do this. However, when restrictions ease and other facilities reopen, we would be hopeful that we will be able increase capacity again.

Everyone's patience and understanding on this matter is much appreciated by everyone at the club.

We would also like to pay particular thanks to all of the volunteers and coaches who make the Academy happen - without them it wouldn't be possible.
