25% of footballers will continue playing football after school while only 5% of GGA players will continue playing GGA
of people taking up sport that they have never played after school - o% take up gga sports
considered this way, basketball has by far the highest rate of adult drop-out of all
sports for which the sample is large enough to measure a drop-out and
participation rate. We estimate that more than three-quarters of adult players
will no longer be playing the sport 3-4 years later. Gaelic football and Hurling also
have drop-out rates above 50 per cent over 3-4 years. The comparison with
soccer, personal exercise and swimming is very striking: Gaelic games have more
than twice the drop-out rate of soccer and three-to-five times the drop-out rat
Higher level of skills required = Higher levels of drop outs, simples
no skill needed for any of the GGA sports mate
Very easily explained. The figures include people who play non competitive soccer, such as astro league and Wednesday night 5 a sides.
GAA is a sport focused on competitive games. Soccer is mode of a hobby.

the actual reason is that GGA players are mainly boggers & when they leave the bog they dont continue with the sport
Good point.
You’re in for a rude awakening if you think the GAA is doomed when you move home. The game is booming in Dublin.
Anyone any good recipes for onion soup?
The GAA isn’t a game
Thank god for this. I was beginning to think peter had his multiple personalities treated
