Planning Sessions

A useful tool on the GAA e-learning portal is the “planner”. Register/login to your account and you will be able to filter drills and add them to your planner. You can then print off this plan for your next training session to help you to get organised!

Useful Videos

There are plenty of useful videos online to help visualise drills. These can be used to help plan sessions or share with players to use as reference when practising at home.
