St Kevin’s Rathcoffey Caragh GAA Clubs are collaborating on an equal partnership on the establishment of ‘St Kevin’s Rathcoffey Caragh GAA All Stars; a GAA for All Initiative. This initiative is aimed at children and teenagers with the aim of increasing sporting and social opportunities for children with additional needs.
The participant profile consists of children and teenagers with Autism, Down Syndrome and Global Developmental Delay. The activities are designed across a number of stations where the participants engage in drills, skills and short games with the aim of developing gross and fine motor skills, social skills, and critical skills to support independence. The group meets at St Kevin’s Astro pitch from 6pm – 7pm on Friday evenings. The pilot commenced on September 24th and ran initially for 8 weeks until November 12th.
The group will reconvene on March 4th 2022 and will run until the Summer. From March 4th, the initiative will incorporate two streams. Firstly, an initiative for children aged 5-12 years focusing on the development of their gross, fine, and motor skills. Secondly, an activity for teenagers and junior coaches playing 6-aside football together which will further develop ball skills and techniques while predominantly providing a social activity for the participants and their peers.
