1 Wexford GAA Coaching & Games Participation Plan 2018 Structure Booklet 2018 will see the roll out of the new Wexford C&G participation plan for U7 s to U11 s. Numerous events are being scheduled for the coming months giving children the opportunity to develop skills, have fun and develop a love for both hurling and football through a participation based games program. A number of Wexford GAA hosted events such as GAA on the Quay and the Innovate Wexford Park Play & Stay Day will be supplemented by multiple blitz days for every club. In between these blitz days, clubs are encouraged to arrange other games to further develop the skills of the game, by using the Play Us App. This new format is part of a restructuring of fixtures for U8 - U11's in Wexford GAA that links with our "Shed Blitz" and our "Play & Stay Days" (details outlined below). Participation and skill are at the corner stones of this new structure and are fundamental to these new plans. We see games opportunities as the key to ensuring these fundamentals are met. Wexford C&G hope that clubs mirror this ethos and incorporate it into their individual club player pathway model. All games will be played under the Go Games ethos which are outlined below. Including the Positive side line only Appeal. Under this Go Games format; Every child gets a go. Activities are structured in a manner which optimises the level of fun, friendship, fair play and achievement derived by participants. Participants play in a safe, supportive and stimulating environment where they are encouraged to risk error, to learn and to derive maximum enjoyment from their involvement. Players master the basic skills of Hurling and Gaelic Football and experience the sense of accomplishment, which derives from acquiring playing proficiency on the left and right hand side of the body. Everybody involved in Go Games, whether as players, parents/guardians, spectators, mentors, teachers, officials etc., are exposed to the key underpinning principles and give expression to the GAA Give Respect, Get Respect initiative. For full updates on the day and retrospectively, on Twitter.
2 The following is a guide for the structure of each age group from U7 to U11 Wexford GAA underage games. It will outline the key focus that Wexford C&G have placed on each age group and our vision for implementing that focus. With 2018 changing to a focus age of U7, U9 and U11 this will be reflected in the games program. Outline of Organised Games U7 Open fixtures will start for U7 s on weekend 14 (April 7th/8th) and run to weekend 39 (September 29th/30th). Open fixtures are dates that clubs are free to organise their own one off games or fixtures. All games should follow the ethos outlined below in the under 7 section and follow Go Games rules.

The new U11 Skill League will start on weekend 14 (April 6th 8th) with two football fixture weekends (round one & two) followed by two hurling fixture weekends (round one & two), this will be followed by an open fixture weekend. Round three and four for each code will run the same for the next four weekends followed by another open fixture weekend. Round five and six for each code will run the same for the next four weekends followed by another open fixture weekend. Finally, a final two rounds of fixtures will take place for each code, two football an open week and two hurling weeks to complete round seven & eight for each code. There will then be a free week for weekend 34 (August 25th/26th). The first of the final weekends hosted in Ferns COE will be for football taking place on weekend 35 (September 1st/2nd) with the hurling equivalent taking place in weekend 38 (September 22nd/23rd). Open fixtures will then run between the above finals dates and after the hurling until weekend 44 (November 2nd/3rd). Games Outline Open Fixtures Are open dates that clubs are open and encouraged to organise their own fixtures and events. Shed Blitz Are indoor blitz days for U9 s where each team of 9 get two games. Three teams are scheduled to play every hour with each game lasting twenty minutes. These shed blitz are targeted at U9 to extend the season to Start in February and end in November. There will be a skill emphasis placed on this area with the additional novelty and variation an indoor arena can bring.
4 Regional Cluster Blitz - Are blitz days where teams get a minimum of 3 fifteen minute games. Depending on age, pitch size will be changed to an appropriate size and will follow the go games model. The regional cluster blitz is a more localized event than the regional blitz where a small number of clubs in each region are clustered together. All games will work on a rotation basis where each team will be designated a sticking team or a moving team. Regional Blitz Are blitz days where teams get a minimum of 3 fifteen minute games. Depending on age, pitch size will be changed to an appropriate size and will follow the go games model. This differs from the regional cluster blitz by the increased number of teams at a specific venue. This is a bigger event by numbers attending. All games will work on a rotation basis where each team will be designated a sticking team or a moving team. County Blitz Day - Are blitz days hosted in Ferns COE and allow the possible fixtures of teams located further apart in location. teams get a minimum of 3 twenty minute games. Depending on age, pitch size will be changed to an appropriate size and will follow the go games model. All games will work on a rotation basis where each team will be designated a sticking team or a moving team. GAA On The Quay This is a one day optional event for U8 s. It is seen as a festival of GAA as a way to give children a novel opportunity to play Gaelic games in a different environment. Teams are given a thirty-minute slot where they will play either hurling or football. Wexford C&G will also have some additional GAA related promotional activities. Play & Stay This is a one-day optional event for U10 s where teams get the opportunity to play in Innovate Wexford Park. Teams are given a one-hour time slot where they will get to have a dressing room experience, enter the pitch to a roaring crowd, play either hurling or football and finally climb the steps to lift the cup! U11 Skill Leagues Is a new hybrid model combining the go games model with an adaptive competition model that will incorporate points or scores for the successful completion of a specific skill. The adaptive competition model is one that encourages competition while also allowing teams to find their own level by pitching teams against others in a similar position on our Kent Stainless Football or Halo Tiles Hurling finals days. A full outline of recommended rules for this competition can be found below.

10 U11 Skill League Guide The U11 skill league is a new model and it must be understood that unforeseen occurrences may arise in which case Wexford C&G will act accordingly. We would ask for every club s assistance and cooperation throughout this new initiative. Wexford C&G also see this initiative as the perfect breeding ground for new referees and referee to supplement the growing shortage for referees in the county. It is hoped that Go Games Referees will be used for this initiative and that all clubs will support this view. U9 & U11 will have a Positive Side Line Only appeal for 2018, coaches and parents are asked to only make positive comments towards both players and referees. Skill league format; Teams will consist of 12 a side (every child gets a minimum of half a game) Clubs can enter an A and B team Teams will play 3 home and 4 away in one code and 4 home and 3 away in the other code to ensure an even number of home matches for each team The scoring system will adopt a hybrid of the traditional goal = 3 points, point = 1 point and the addition of successfully completing a specific skill being rewarded with 1 point (full details before start date) Teams will be awarded 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss After all fixtures are complete, the final league table will determine each team s opponent on the Final Days Referees will be Go Games Referees, seen as referees and should be treated appropriately. If a referee is treated with improper conduct, Wexford C&G will be contacting the clubs coaching officer with a formal warning. Host Club Responsibilities: o Car Parking / Traffic Management o Pitches Available with No obstructions o Facilities Available (toilets, shop, etc) o Bins (please have plenty of bins available to avoid littering) o Helpers (underage players to help lead coordinator to direct clubs to pitches etc) o Pitch layout according to guidelines outlined by Wexford C&G
11 o Match Ball (size 4 sliotar) (go games smart touch ) Visiting Club Responsibilities: o Appropriate team numbers o Arrive with kit on and teams picked in advance where possible o Arrive on time County Board: o A Go Games Referee will be assigned to each venue o Fixtures provided to clubs in advance o Results gathered from referee and leagues formulated for updated standings
12 Open Fixtures Guide Open fixtures are dates set for clubs to organise their own one off games or external competitions to coincide with the games program offered by Wexford C&G. All Wexford C&G events and fixtures MUST be prioritised with sufficient alternatives supplied to clubs to arrange alternatives. They can also be used as days for example where clubs can get external coaches in to do a coaching session or workshop etc. We would encourage all clubs to take advantage of this as it was a request made by a lot of clubs last year. We would suggest that all clubs sign up to the Play Us app which will help facilitate the arranging of fixtures. The Play Us GAA app can be found here We would also like to emphasize the importance of keeping with the outlined guides above for each respective age group to insure consistence across the board.
