Official TFK GAA Coaches Corner

At that age level it’s still in divisions. I can put you in touch with another good Callan man involved with Kiltha Óg who’ll sort you out with a match :wink:

Lads, if a fella gets sent off in an u-21 hurling match what’s the suspension? Would it carry over to the u-21 football championship? (circa 4 weeks later)

Depends on what the suspension is. But generally, a one or 2 game suspension will be in that competition only

Thanks. I’m over our u-21 footballers and our only lad on the age managed to get sent off in the u-21 hurling, so that’s good news.

How would you analyse your own performance on tfk?

I don’t get it?

I think you’ve a lot to give but you’re afraid of vulnerability. You need to open up a little.

You just don’t get it fella

Forget yer streaming, and half year age groups.

Tis all about bio banding these days

Limerick and Clare hurling academies played a couple of matches with teams selected based on bio-banding earlier in the year.

Wollie has a great interview with Stephen Lavin out.

3 year old is attending the “nursery” (under 5s) on Saturday mornings the past few months. They had a small sided match there for the first time this year. She was unwilling to get stuck in despite promises of ice cream afterwards. Is under 5 a bit young to be doing small sided games given lack of awareness of others kids would have when wielding the hurley?

3 year old not getting stuck in ffs :person_facepalming::smile:

Ah I know but others her age more eager I guess and others were shy like her too. I thought the match was a bit much for that age

Aye and they’ll have it packed-in before they’re 12. Let them come to it in their own time. Just make it a positive experience. If that means playing ring-a-rosy, so be it. Once that positive association with the club is created, they will keep at it over the longer term.
