Coaching Courses
Coaching courses for the new season will be recommencing soon. If you would liketo do a foundation/level one/level two course, please forward your name to AnthonyLiddane. All courses have been updated recently and are run on a hybrid approach of online and practical sessions. The practical element will be run later in the season.
We are happy to inform you that a GAA Coach will be visiting both Athlacca and Banogue School every Wednesday until the end of the year. Shane Curtin will coach a mixture of hurling and football and this is sure to be of great benefit to the development of our young players
Team Limerick Clean Up
Team Limerick Clean Up takes place again this year on Good Friday April 15th.
Volunteers of all ages are asked to take part in this community initiative. Keep an
eye on our social media pages for further details
Referee Course
A great way to stay involved in the game other than playing is to become a referee.
It’s a great way to stay fit and with ambition and drive, you could go all the way to
the top and referee a County Final or even an All Ireland! This is a great opportunity to “give something back” while helping to develop personnel skills that are of value
in all walks of life. If you’re interested in becoming a referee, then contact Mike Sexton @ 087 9188375 or Patsy Coffey @ 087 9160344 to register for courses.

Club membership for 2022 can now be paid on Clubzapp. Remember all membership must be paid in full to be permitted to play. Payments can also be made to any committee member. Deadline for payment is March 31st
