Return to play guidelines issued by Rebel Og coaching.
Rebel Og Coaching are helping club coaches and youth players (13-17) prepare for the commencement of GAA activities with an exciting offering of skills in hurling and football along with activities to help with athletic development backed by Setanta College and the National Games Development Department. Over the next 5 weeks, our GDA’s will be releasing a skill each week for boys to practice at home to help them hone their technical proficiency ahead of the new season. Cork GAA Games Manager, Kevin O Callaghan, thanked our team of GDA’s for their excellent work in producing this content and acknowledged that coaches can use this content by distributing it their own club players to give them a chance to knock off their rustiness while helping their physical and mental wellbeing.
Coaches can sign up to receive the skills content each week via direct email by completing the form here
(The content will not be sent to secretaries for week 2 and beyond)
The skills for week 1 are linked here:

COACHES: PLEASE DISTRIBUTE THESE LINKS TO YOUR PLAYERS TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO ENGAGE IMMEDIATELY.
