Upcoming Club Officer Training Across Gaelic Games

The GAA, LGFA and Camogie Association are pleased to confirm the next phase of Club Officer training scheduled for the first few months of 2024.

The Gaelic Games Officer Development Committee is making a range of modules from the Club Leadership Development Programme (CLDP) available to both new and existing Club Officers.

A new format for 2024 has been developed and a breakdown of what is available is as follows:

 

  1. Revised Club Officer Foundations eLearning Module

The Club Officer Foundations eLearning Module has been updated and is now ready for Club Officers to complete. It will go live from the 1st January 2024 and it will be made accessible here – https://learning.gaa.ie/cldp2024

 

  1. New Officer InductionModules

Each GAA Provincial Council will lead the delivery of online role-induction training for Chairpersons, Secretaries, Treasurers, PROs and Coaching Officers on the following dates:

  • 11 January – Ulster
  • 16 January – Connacht
  • 18 January – Leinster
  • 25 January – Munster

 

Specifically, a suite of 90-minute webinars will be delivered – by a team of voluntary Associates – for the following roles: Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer, PRO and Coaching Officer.

Some Provinces will also provide webinars for other roles, so please refer to the events calendar for more information: https://learning.gaa.ie/officertrainingcalendar

 

The LGFA will launch a new Administrator Pathway in early 2024, full details will follow, and this will also include self-led modules for all officer roles.

 

  1. In-Person Events

Regional workshops on how to make your Club Executive more effective will be held in Q1 of 2024.  Dates, times and the format are being refined at the minute, so more information will be communicated to Clubs in due course.

 

  1. Optional Modules

 

Club Officers can choose to complete one module from ten options available. These modules will be a hybrid of pre-recorded webinars or live upcoming events.

 

  1. Reflection Submission

 

Club Officers will be asked to submit a 300 word reflection on their pathway through the CLDP this year OR Club Officers will be asked to submit a 300 word reflection on their Club’s report from the Club Compás Programme.

 

  1. Certification

Completion of mandatory elements in January – April 2024 earns a Certificate in Club Leadership (Gaelic Games).

 

  1. General Modules

The Officer Development Committee will also facilitate the organisation of additional training upon request from GAA County Planning and Training Officers. We encourage the Volunteer Development Lead from the LGFA County Development Committees to liaise with their GAA counterparts in this regard.  In addition, further modules being organised by central departments will be added to the schedule in the coming weeks, e.g., Foireann. Confirmed events in this category include:

  • 18 January – Gaelic Games versus Discrimination
