‘Ball4all’
We are opening up a new section of the club for children who cannot ordinarily take part in team sports with physical disabilities, neuro diversity (autism) or children with intellectual disabilities. This will initially be 4-10 age group with a view to expanding the ages and range of children once we get comfortable with the format. We will be limiting the numbers to 10 or less to begin with, it will be 1:1 adult ratio and we will also be asking parents to assist for the comfort of the children. The session will be fun format games with a view to introducing football skills little by little each week.
We have worked with the LGFA,GAA and other clubs who are successfully delivering this programme . We have sought guidance from Limerick sports partnership, Cara sport, The GAA diversity and inclusion officer, Limerick GAA, GAA games for all, local families living with disabilities and Games development officers.
We have put a team of coaches and helpers together that includes experienced special needs assistants and special education teachers all of whom are committed to being the “one good coach” in these kids life, who are determined to help that child succeed and have fun. All our coaches will be Garda vetted and equipped with suitable equipment.
We are very excited to announce our unique name in Oola GAA&LGFA will be “Ball4all”.
To express interest and for more information please contact Treasa on 0861291752 or Orla on 0879381648. All enquiries will be dealt with in the strictest confidence.
We hope to launch “Ball4all” by having a taster session on Sunday 26th September as part of European week of sport and during the Gaa national inclusive fitness week.
