LGFA Dr Crokes Ladies Gaelic Football Assocation were recently selected as the only Kerry club to participate in the LGFA Gaelic4Girls programme. This initiative is aimed at girls in the Killarney area from age 8-12 years who have never played football with a club before and would like to get involved.
It is an 8-week programme, in which our trained coaches will incorporate football coaching sessions with fun activities, while teaching the skills of the game.
The aim of the programme is to increase the number of girls learning to play the game and to help develop athletic skills for girls in a safe and nurturing environment.
All coaches are Garda Vetted and have completed a child safeguarding course. The activities will be run in accordance with all HSE Covid Guidelines.
The total cost for the 8 weeks is €10 per child, which also includes a Gaelic4Girls jersey.


The Programme is specifically for girls who are not currently playing football with any of our underage teams and begins on Tuesday, 01 June at 7pm in the Dr Crokes GAA grounds, Lewis Road, Killarney.
For any further enquiries, please contact programme co-ordinators Catherine Keogh (087-2827626) or Áine McMahon (087-2890527)
