Meath is one of four counties in the country currently delivering pilot Gaelic Games F3 Youth Athletic Development Level One courses on behalf of the GAA.
The course has been hailed as a game-changer for volunteer coaches, aimed at enhancing their understanding and practices with respect to youth athletic development.
The Level One course was developed by the GAA’s Sports Science Working Group’s Athletic Development sub-group and launched at the 2024 Coaching Conference in Croke Park.
The course is designed to support coaches working with players in the F3 Youth Phase (13 to 17-year-olds) of the player pathway and will be rolled out throughout the county in 2025
