Charlestown Gaelic for Mothers and Others
The Gaelic4Mothers&Others initiative is an innovative way to introduce mothers and other women to playing Ladies Gaelic Football. The Gaelic4Mothers&Others initiative sees women playing Ladies Gaelic Football in a fun, non-competitive and social environment. Gaelic4Mothers&Others provides an opportunity for women to get their recommended weekly exercise in a fun way while meeting other mothers in the area. The initiative has proved hugely popular with over 32 women of all ages registered with the group.
The philosophy of Gaelic4Mothers&Others games is to promote full participation with emphasis on non-competitive and social atmosphere. Every participant should get the opportunity to develop their skills in a fun and safe environment.
G4M&O is a non-competitive recreational form of Ladies Gaelic Football G4M&O is all inclusive. It should always welcome women over the age of 25 and who currently do not play any form of competitive club football and would like to play. They cannot be a registered player with any LGFA club All G4M&O training sessions are fun orientated with the focus on learning the skills of our game, developing social skills and providing an opportunity for women to be physically active All G4M&O festivals are about participation and not winning. There are no winners or losers at G4M&O Festivals and no scores are recorded. Festivals should aim to allow women to meet other G4M&O Sites while having fun playing small sided matches All G4M&O Clubs must seek prior approval from the National Development Officer prior to hosting G4M&O Festivals
