Ulster GAA to host Handball Seminar at Garvaghey

Ulster GAA is to host an Ulster Handball Seminar in the Garvaghey GAA Centre on Saturday October 15th from 9.00am to 1.00pm.

Handball is played on the National and International World Stage. It sits alongside football, hurling and rounders as one of the GAA’s four core sports. The seminar is presented to increase the profile of the game with County Boards and revisit the roles and responsibilities for the promotion and development of the game. The objective of the day is to review where Ulster handball is and where it wants to get to and how our County Boards can help in that process.

Key speakers will include Ulster GAA Vice- President Oliver Galligan, Chairman of Ulster Handball Sean Clarke, National Development Manager Darragh Daly and Loughmacrory Club Chairman Chris Curran.

At the end of the day the seminar will have:

• Profiled Handball as an important part of the GAA Sports Programme.
• Engaged support for future development from GAA Administrators.
• Challenged our player, coach and volunteer development pathways.
• Assessed current facility provision and administration support.
• Developed key actions for Clubs, County Boards, Games Managers and Provincial Council.

GAA County Officers, Ulster Handball Officers and Games Development Managers are invited to attend the workshop this Saturday October 15th at the Tyrone GAA Centre. Your contribution is valued.
