Hi everyone,
We are happy to say Antrim GAA can now start rolling out Level 1/Award 1 courses. Due to the huge demand for these courses, there will be a limit of one person per club for each Hurling Level course, and a limit of one person for each Football Level one course, e.g. if you are a dual club, you are allowed one football and one hurling entry. If you are a football or hurling only club, you are allowed only one entry in your specific code. This is to allow every club an opportunity to avail of these courses. There is a limit of 24 places for each course and it will be on a first come first served basis.
(I will be sending an email next week asking for entries to the Level 1 Adult course which will be held in January & February).
The first course will be a Level 1 Child (for detailed outline please read file attached):
