GAA Referee Handbook Referee Handbook Referee Handbook 1 Réamfhocal Ón Uachtarán Tá áthas an domhain orm fáilte a cur romhaibh don seoladh oifigiúla seo agus guím comhghairdeas ar gach duine atá páirteac sa tionscadal seo. I warmly welcome this opportunity to be associated with an initiative that enhances the preparation and performance of our Referee team. The record numbers of children who attend the Kellogg’s Cúl Camps every year is proof positive that our Games have never been more popular than they are now. We can all take a measure of pride in this and we can say that the top players and the top teams play a key role in driving this new level. But it would not be possible without the contribution from our Referees and Match Officials and it is impossible to overlook their importance. The fitness of the modern GAA player and the speed at which our Games are played has never been greater. This in turns places a requirement on our Match Officials to be able to keep up with this pace change. The evolving nature of the sport and in particular Gaelic football also places a demand upon Referees in adjudicating a game that is moving faster while still housing an important level of acceptable physical competition for possession. The willingness of our Referees to meet these challenges and to strive to get better is inspirational. We cannot have games without Referees and I would like to acknowledge and give credit to the body of work that takes place constantly over the course of the year to ensure that our Match Officials are the best they can possibly be. I’ve no doubt but that, just like playing, to perform at the top as a Referee requires a lifestyle choice that encompasses preparation on and off the field. We are well served by the body of people who are willing to step up and offer themselves as Referees and Match Officials and I would like to congratulate Sean Walsh and the National Referee Development Committee and the Referee team in Croke Park for this important addition to the GAA library and trust it will be well received by our Referees. The Give Respect, Get Respect campaign has been a success and will continue. In the meantime you have my unwavering respect and support and again, the thanks of the Association is due to all of our Referees and Match Officials at club and county level who enable our Games to thrive.

  • Official Guide 2020
    The Ladies Gaelic Football Association Est 1974 Official Guide 2020 6th April The Ladies Gaelic Football Association The Ladies Gaelic Football Association was founded in Hayes Hotel, Thurles, County Tipperary on 18 July 1974. Four counties, Offaly, Kerry, Tipperary and Galway attended the meeting. However, eight counties namely Cork, Kerry, Tipperary, Waterford, Galway, Roscommon, Laois and Offaly participated in the first official All Ireland Senior Championship of that year, which was won by Tipperary. Today, Ladies Gaelic Football is played in all counties in Ireland. It is also played in Africa, Asia, Australia, Britain, Canada, Europe, New Zealand, South America and the USA on an organised basis. It is imperative for our Association to maintain and foster our supportive contact with our International units. Our Association in Ireland must influence and help Ladies Football Clubs Internationally and share the spirit of home with those who are separated physically from their homes and to introduce those who have no connection with Ireland to the enjoyment of our sporting culture and heritage. The structure of the Ladies Gaelic Football Association is similar to that of the GAA with Clubs, County Boards, Provincial Councils, Central Council and Annual Congress. The National President is elected for one term of four years and shall not serve two consecutive terms. The Association was recognised by the GAA in 1982. In the early years of its foundation, the Association used the rules in the Official Guide of the GAA in conjunction with its own rules. The Ladies Gaelic Football Association decided at a Central Council meeting on 7th October 1985 to publish its own Official Guide.

  • Be a Guid Sport!
    BE A GUID SPORT! TEACHERs BOOK Be A Guid Sport! This workbook “Be a Guid Sport” covers a range of sporting and leisure activities associated with Scotland and Ulster which could be used either by P.E. teachers or by teachers of other subjects as an extension to work on some of the other Ulster-Scots booklets. The Pupil Booklet includes research tasks, classroom-based work and also some physical activities. The Pupil Booklet is divided into 5 sections: Team Games; Highland Games; Street Games; Winter Sports and Golf. “Be a Guid Sport” is a companion to the “Birlin roon tha Flair” booklet on Scottish Country Dance. In this Teachers Book some additional information is provided along with answer sheets and also assessment grids. Some of the activities will enable P.E. teachers to address aspects of Communication and I.T. and to contribute to pupil assessment of these skills. Shinty The purpose of this section is to introduce the game of shinty and to encourage pupils to see its links with hurling. The stretch of sea between Northeast Ireland and Southeast Scotland might seem like a barrier to us today. In ancient times, however, when roads did not exist and journeys across land were hard and dangerous, the short sea crossing was a much easier way to travel. As a consequence people have been moving backwards and forwards be- tween these two areas for as long as we have knowledge. Settlers from Ireland brought the sport of hurling to Scotland over 2000 years ago. Shinty appears in the legend—the Ulster Cycle— of the Celtic hero Cúchulainn but it has become associated with Scotland while Ireland is associated with hurling.

  • The Development of Grassroots Football in Regional Ireland: the Case of the Donegal League, 1971–1996
    33 Conor Curran ‘It has almost been an underground movement’. The Development of Grassroots Football in Regional Ireland: the Case of the Donegal League, 1971–1996 Abstract This article assesses the development of association football at grassroots’ level in County Donegal, a peripheral county lying in the north-west of the Republic of Ire- land. Despite the foundation of the County Donegal Football Association in 1894, soccer organisers there were unable to develop a permanent competitive structure for the game until the late 20th century and the more ambitious teams were generally forced to affiliate with leagues in nearby Derry city. In discussing the reasons for this lack of a regular structure, this paper will also focus on the success of the Donegal League, founded in 1971, in providing a season long calendar of games. It also looks at soccer administrators’ rivalry with those of Gaelic football there, and the impact of the nationalist Gaelic Athletic Association’s ‘ban’ on its members taking part in what the organisation termed ‘foreign games’. In particular, the extent to which the removal of the ‘ban’ in 1971 helped to ease co-operation between organisers of Gaelic and Association football will be explored. Keywords: Association football; Gaelic football; Donegal; Ireland; Donegal League; Gaelic Athletic Association Introduction The nationalist Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), which is today the leading sporting organisation in Ireland despite its players having to adhere to its amateur ethos, has its origins in the efforts of schoolteacher and journalist Michael Cusack, who was eager to reform Irish athletics which was dominated by elitism and poorly governed in the early 1880s.

  • ANZA Rules for Penalty Shootouts
    Rules for Penalty Shootouts The penalty-kick shootout to decide a match consists of a minimum of 5 penalty kicks to be taken by each of the two teams from the penalty spot (8 yards from the goal line in the case of half-pitch play, 10 yards in the case of full pitch play). The referee decides by the flip of a coin which team begins. The two teams alternate until 5 different players from each team have made their kick. If the score is a draw at the completion of the 5th kick, both teams take a kick until a winner is found. A different player must be used for each kick and a player involved in the first 5 kicks cannot be reused in the subsequent "sudden death" situation until all other players on his side, including the goalkeeper, have taken their turn. The Coach of each team selects the 5 players and his goalkeeper to participate. These must be players who were on the pitch at the end of match play. This selected group of players should wait in a group either in the center circle or at the midfield line (the selected group for each team should be located in separate sides of the pitch). Should no winner be decided at the end of 5 rounds, each team will send up a player who was on the pitch at the end of the match to take the subsequent round until the match is decided. Should all players who were on the pitch take their turn and there is still no decision, then players who were not on the pitch are to be used.
