Introduction

Each year, Kilkenny GAA’s Coaching and Games Development Committeeorganises a comprehensive programme of events for our Juvenile Players,Coaches and Administrators.We have combined all the relevant areas to ensure all involved are aware inadvance of the programme of events. Then, the relevant personnel can plantheir activities accordingly.This structure will, we hope, ensure best practices are adhered to, so as toensure our young players are given the opportunity to develop at their ownparticular rate and ensure as many of our young players have fulfillingexperiences while participating in Gaelic Games and will therefore remainactively involved in our National Games which ties in with our own “Long TermPlayer Development Plans” (See Coaching Resource Second Edition) and theGAA’s Grassroots to National Programme (GNP).This year, as a follow on to our “Go Games” Plans, we are again, meeting allclubs early in the season to ensure we are all on the same path of ensuring ourYoung Players get as much game time as possible as their start out on theirplaying careers. Indeed, the first few years are vital in a players developmentso we have to ensure each player who attends our underage coachingsessions receive appropriate opportunities to play the game, be it in a ClubParish “Street League” or in their Club jersey. To assist clubs organize theirown Blitz Days we have compiled a list of club contacts for each club,at eachage group, for the coming season.We are also, this year, offering clubs the opportunity to recruit a Juvenile ClubCoaching Co-Ordinator, and, Juvenile Clubs, the opportunity to attain a “ClubCill Chainnigh” Award Flag for exhibiting, promoting and developing “BestPractices” for all our juvenile players. Certain criteria have to be attained byclubs to avail of this Award. We certainly envisage clubs will strive to achievethis over the coming season.This booklet is produced to compliment the trojan work being completedannually at all levels of the Association in Kilkenny, and without whose input wecould not ensure the GAA remains to the forefront of not only of our ownCommunities, at local level, but Nationally, also.We would like to wish you all the best in your GAA activities, during the comingseason.

GO Games 2012

The U-10 Festival Finals are planned for Saturday 9th and Saturday the 16thJune.

The U-12 Festival Finals are planned for Saturday 25th August and Saturdaythe 1st September.

We would ask clubs to take note of all the Fixture Dates and avoid clashingwith them when you are arranging your own Club Blitzes or invited toparticipate in another Club's Blitzes during the year.

First named team has home venue, and we would ask Club Coaches to ensurethe Home Team touches base with their opponents during the week of thegame to ensure :

(1) Clubs know the game is going ahead !!!

(2) So that the Home team can have a Second/Third Pitch (dependent onnumbers - that can be checked when contacting the opposing teamsmentor) prepared in advance to ensure all players are playing or at leaston a rotational basis.

(3) Games to be refereed by a Minor Player.

(4) Encourage Players and MENTORS to shake hands before and after thegame.

Games Based Training

Mini Games And Games Related Activity

Every single “play” in a game of hurling can be used to highlight weaknesses orhighlight good play for your team. Each occasion a puck out is taken, phases ofplay develop, which can be used in assisting you to devising a session whichwill aim to improve your teams play. It is therefore one of the major challenges,we face as Coaches, to be able to ensure that the information we gather to usein our Coaching sessions be Game Related , relevant and applicable to whatwe all aim to achieve at the next game . i.e Improved Performance. And what achallenge that is ……

Each time we head to the field, we as Coaches, should have a “Goal” for oursession, so therefore looking closely at what is happening and planning how torectify problems has to be part of your Coaching “armoury”.

Considering we have players training for 6 months or longer during a seasonthere is time for us to cover all the skills/plays which occur in our games.

Only by analyzing what happens with your team can you plan sessions relevantto your team. Ideally we would hope to build those Games Related activities tobe part of our sessions.

A coach should never lose focus on our overall aim to improve individual/teamsperformance and thereby increasing our chances of WINNING.

And when results are not going your way, remember that “Coaching is ajourney” and that “The Longest journey starts with the smallest step …….”

Therefore with the focus on “Games Related” activities we have put together aselection of Games Related Activities which could be of benefit to you duringthe season/s ahead.
