Gaelic 4 Mothers & Others
The Gaelic4Mothers&Others initiative is an innovative way to introduce mothers and other women to playing Ladies Gaelic Football. Mothers often drop their kids to training and call back to collect them, but the Ladies Gaelic Football Association wants to change that.
The Gaelic4Mothers&Others initiative sees women playing Ladies Gaelic Football in a fun, non-competitive and social environment and provides an opportunity for women to get their recommended weekly exercise in a fun way while meeting other mothers in the area.
The initiative has proved hugely popular with women of all ages and has taken off in all 32 counties with success stories popping up all over the country. For example in the Hurling County of Kilkenny the Conahy Shamrocks Club has attracted over 60 women to participate in the initiative.
There is one Provinicial Blitz organised in each Province every year and one National Blitz which have been a huge success with 2500 participants taking part in the National Blitz Days each year.

How can I pay my Registration?
- If your club has a Ladies Football section, then you register as normal paying the appropriate fees through the club registrar.
- If your club has no ladies football section in the local GAA club then you can contact vincent.whelan@lgfa.ie to get a log in for your club to register through the electronic registration system. The cost to use this system for the year plus full support is €30. This will be €15 after the first year. Please note the club will also have to pay the GAA Public Liability Insurance Levy annually which is €250 and payable when logging in for first time each year on Servasport.
- If there is no GAA or ladies club in your area then you need to contact vincent.whelan@lgfa.ie to discuss setting up for the registration process
