3 Introduction Each year, Kilkenny GAA s Coaching and Games Development Committee organises 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 in advance of the programme of events. Then, the relevant personnel can plan their activities accordingly. This structure will, we hope, ensure best practices are adhered to, so as to ensure our young players are given the opportunity to develop at their own particular rate and ensure as many of our young players have fulfilling experiences while participating in Gaelic Games and will therefore remain actively involved in our National Games which ties in with our own Long Term Player Development Plans (See Coaching Resource Second Edition) and the GAA s Grassroots to National Programme (GNP). This year, as a follow on to our initial Go Games Plans, we are again, meeting all clubs early in the season to ensure we are all on the same path of ensuring our Young Players get as much game time as possible as their start out on their playing careers. Indeed, the first few years are vital in a players development so we have to ensure each player who attends our underage coaching sessions receive appropriate opportunities to play the game, be it in a Club Parish Street League or in their Club jersey. To assist clubs organize their own Blitz Days we have compiled a list of club contacts for each club at each age group for the coming season. We are also, this year, delighted to be able to offer to Juvenile Coaches the Award One Child Coaching Course, which is the next step on the Coaching ladder for Juvenile Coaches who have completed the Foundation Award as they further develop Gaelic Games in their clubs s/schools. This booklet is produced to compliment the trojan work being completed annually at all levels of the Association in Kilkenny, and without whose input we could not ensure the GAA remains to the forefront of not only of our own Communities, at local level, but Nationally, also. We would like to wish you all the best in your GAA activities, during the coming season.

23 Kilkenny GAA GO Games 2011 The U-10 Festival Finals are planned for Saturday 4th and Saturday the 11th June. The U-12 Festival Finals are planned for Saturday 27th August and Saturday the 3rd September. We would ask clubs to take note of all the Fixture Dates and avoid clashing with them when you are arranging your own Club Blitzes or invited to participate in another Club's Blitzes during the year. First named team has home venue, and we would ask Club Coaches to ensure the Home Team touches base with their opponents during the week of the game to ensure : (1) Clubs know the game is going ahead!!! (2) So that the Home team can have a Second/Third Pitch (dependent on numbers - that can be checked when contacting the opposing teams mentor) prepared in advance to ensure all players are playing or at least on a rotational basis. (3) Games to be refereed by a Minor Player. (4) Encourage Players and MENTORS to shake hands before and after the game. page 21
