Gaelic Life Club Officer Training

Over the past three years Ulster GAA has been rolling out a comprehensive Officer Training Programme which has proven to be very popular and useful with thousands of club officers participating in training across all nine counties of Ulster.

The Gaelic Life Club Officer Training Programme is training for all NEW club officers. It was scheduled to take place earlier in January but due to snow, was reschedule to February.

This session will be a one-off Provincial training session to ensure all GAA volunteers new to roles in 2013 will have the necessary information and skills. This session is also a good networking session where GAA officials get the opportunity to meet with volunteers from other clubs in the same role. The Club Officer Training for NEW Officers take place on Saturday 23rd February 2013 from 10am to 1pm in Holy Trinity School, Cookstown. At this session there will be individual training workshops for Chairpersons, Secretaries, Treasurers, PROs, Development Officers, Coaching Officers, Culture Officers and Children’s Officers.

All previous registrations will be held for this programme and anyone else wishing to avail of this training should register by emailing sharon.haughey.ulster@gaa.ie

In addition to this, a Club Officer Development Course will once again be held in every county in Ulster to ensure club officers have all necessary information for their roles and tasks in 2013. This is an important course and is required for Club Maith accreditation. The half-day session aims to provide club officers with all essential information for the year ahead. This year the plenary session will focus on the importance of planning within your club and will explore club plans, introducing the One Club model and Securing Club Maith accreditation. As part of this training session there will also be five workshops: Alcohol and Substance Abuse (ASAP), Communications & Marketing, Securing Funds, Culture and Heritage in your club and Child Protection.
