Take a Second

One of the key aims of the LGFA is to celebrate our volunteers, officials and players and create role models on and off the pitch.

Central to delivering on this is to provide safe, supportive, respectful playing and non-playing environments for everyone…

Players
Coaches
Referees
Parents
Spectators
Volunteers

As we see other sports struggle with culture and behaviour around the match day experience, and specifically with regard to the respect shown to match officials, we are committed to instilling a culture of respect and positivity amongst our people both on and off the pitch.

The LGFA wants to encourage and celebrate a culture of positivity and mutual respect on match and meetings days. The aim is to create and deliver a campaign, that promotes and celebrates positive match day behaviour between players, coaches, referees, parents and spectators, plus officers in meeting rooms.

So welcome to our new campaign called ‘Take a Second’

We are asking everyone involved to Take a Second and think about their next action remembering the potential impact it could have on someone else involved in our game. There will be videos and imagery for you to share across your platforms with the club and county toolkit to show your support of this campaign. The ‘Take a Second’ logo will feature at many of our key events both on pitch signage, big screen and officials jerseys. We can all work together to ensure we respect everyone involved in our games and celebrate everything that is great about participating in Ladies Gaelic Football.
