Foundation courses in Cork

Please circulate to all coaches in your club, in particular those who are new to coaching and have not completed the Foundation Course as of yet.
These will be the only Foundation Courses we will be hosting in Cork until October.
The course will be blended in that there are “online” and “practical” segments.
Anyone signing up is encouraged to sign up for the link below based on their location.
Format:
1.) Click on the link below appropriate to the region of your club. Log in or Register if a new user.
Mid Cork (Muskerry & Carrigdhoun) : https://learning.gaa.ie/lms/course/view.php?id=10947

 

2.) Once you have registered, you will be given access to the modules for the Foundation Course. You must complete all the modules in full to gain accreditation for the course. This is not negotiable.
3.) Complete the Practical Workshop at a venue locally (Details will be circulated about all venues, times, and dates by the end of the week. We will host at least 1 Practical workshop in each region. If the times/dates don’t suit, you may go to another region to complete the practical.
4.) 48 hours after the final practical workshop, the system will close down online, so you will not be able to access the modules to complete the online section. Anyone who has completed all the online modules and attended the Practical workshop will be issued with their Certificate. If you did not attend any practical or did not complete all of the online modules, you will not be issued the certificate. The system then resets, so if you had part of the requirements completed, this will be deleted and you will have to start again the next time.
5.) I will circulate all venues and times of the practicals to all club secretaries in the coming days for circulation as well as inform all registered persons of the same information to the email address they register online.
Any issues or queries, let me know by the response.
Award 1: Please note, we are in the process of organising an Award 1 course for February and March. This will be run centrally and not in individual clubs, so we will send out links to register to all clubs as soon as we have details confirmed.
Is mise le meas,

What is the Munster Club Development Programme? 

The Club Development Programme incorporates all areas of club development both on and off the field and will have engagement with the Adult and Juvenile sections of the club. The programme identifies 7 areas or pillars that form the foundation for a club to develop and reach out to its wider community. The Pillars include:

      1. Coaching & Games Development
      2. Volunteers & Recruitment
      3. Finance Fundraising & Facilities
      4. Organisational Structures & Governance
      5. Communications & Public Relations
      6. Health & Well Being
      7. Social & Community

The programme which will be delivered by our GDAs who will work closely with the County Development Officer and other support groups to ensure all areas of expertise are made available to your club throughout the programme.

The programme will commence with an Audit of your clubs’ activities and then help in areas where there might be opportunities for improvement.

Presentations/Club Visits: 

There will be 3 visits that must take place with your club. These visits are open to all senior and Rebel Óg officers and committee members, club coaches at all ages, club members, players and parents. The Visits can be conducted online or at a Face-to-Face meeting in your club.

Night 1:

The presentation will introduce the programme, give feedback on the club audit and allow opportunities for discussion around the information contained in the Audit.

Night 2: 

This will take place approx. 7-10 days after visit 1 and will focus on Building your club and introduces the 7 pillars. The presentation will go through each pillar and their role if applicable in your club. The presentation will conclude with looking at establishing communities of learning.

Rebel Óg outline initial plans for 2022 season

Rebel Óg had sent clubs a brief outline of the planned games programme for the year and other relevant information. As per the national decision, the primary age grades are U13, 15, and 17. There will be leagues and championships at U15 and 17, league only at U13 in accordance with rule. Championships will be run on a round-robin basis, followed by semi-finals and finals at the primary age grades.

The first teams of clubs at these age levels will be graded as Premier 1, Premier 2, Division 1, Division 2, or Division 3. There will be second-team and C3 competitions at these age levels. Second teams will be graded in Division 4 or Division 5.

U12, 14, and 16 are secondary age grades. There will be a league only at U12. There will be league and championship at U14 and U16.

U14 and 16 leagues are confined to players on the age. U14 and 16 championships will be knockout, eligibility will be in accordance with general rule.

The U14 championships will be played in May/June during the exam break, U16 championship will be played late in the year, similar to 2021.

Rebel Óg encourages clubs to enter second and/or C3 teams at primary age-grades, particularly at U15 and 17 and to enter U14 and 16 leagues only where they clearly have enough active players on the age.

Second Team competitions will be league and championship, C3 will be league only. Please note that general rule applies to second teams, 15 players must be named for the first team.

All other eligible players can play with the second team until the championship, players are subsequently tied to a team by championship participation.

C3 eligibility does not change during the season, 10 players are named for the first team (where a club enters a first and C3 team) and all other eligible players can play C3 throughout the season.

Second Team games and C3 games will be scheduled for the same day. Records show that there are very few clubs able to field a second team and a C3 team; those clubs will be allowed to move the dates of their games to avoid a clash.

There will be two competitions in each code at U12 and 13 in 2022. The first competition will be a grading competition and will consist of three or four games. The teams will then be graded for the main competitions which will have bigger groups and more games.

This is necessary as Rebel Óg has very little information about the standard of these age groups due to the disruption caused by two years of Covid. At U12, the five-goal rule will apply. This states that if a team scores more than five goals in a game, the sixth and subsequent goals are each counted as a point.

Officers of the Mid-South Region with the players and Noel Furlong, manager of the All-Ireland winning team.

Mid-South Region honour Cork minor All-Ireland winning players

Recently the Mid South Region honoured members of clubs under their remit who were part of the Cork minor All-Ireland hurling winning team this year.
Chairman of the region, Martin Lynch welcomed all on the night and said that the “the reason that we are acknowledging these boys is because your club is within the area that we are catering for, the South-East and Mid Cork areas.
“To all the parents, the club officers and to all the boys, David Casey Éire Óg; James Dwyer and Tadhg O’Connell of Ballincollig; Darragh O’Sullivan, Ballinhassig; Kevin Lyons, Ballygarvan and James Byrne, Ballinora, welcome. Unfortunately, Kris O’Callaghan can’t be with us tonight.
“We would also like to welcome Noel Furlong, the man who put it all together, and we have to congratulate Noel on his elevation to being a selector with the Cork senior hurlers for the coming year.
“This evening’s event is just a small gesture from us to all of the boys for their marvellous achievement in winning both the Munster championship and the ultimate prize – the All–Ireland final.
“By winning the All-Ireland you gave a tremendous lift to everyone in the county, there was a great feel-good factor in the entire GAA community as a result of this win, and when you add in the under 20 title that week also it doesn’t get much better than that.
“The manner of your victories were amazing, clocking up such high scores in all of your games. This team had so many attributes going for it, determination, steel, great team play and of course an abundance of skill that all of the players displayed in all of your games.
“To win anything it takes a great team effort, and to win an All-Ireland it takes many teams working in the background.
“First you have your parents and that started many years ago in the back garden, then ferrying you all over the county to matches and training sessions.
“To your clubs and the many coaches that you have had looking after you over many years, and also very importantly the officers who do all the work behind the scenes in arranging all the activities in the clubs.
“And finally the management team that you had over the last few years in your development squads, and to the man that put it all together Noel Furlong.
Well done and congratulations again to all of you and wishing all of you the very best in the years to come,” concluded Martin.

James Dwyer, captain of the All–Ireland winning team, responded by saying: “On behalf of all the players I would like to thank the Mid-South Region for the presentation.
Also a special thanks to all of our parents for all they have done for us over the years.
“Also to Noel Furlong for all the coaching and help that he and his management team did for all the players over the last few years.” Noel Furlong, manager of the team concluded the proceedings by saying: “It was a pleasure to be involved with such a great bunch of players.
“The players always did what was asked of them both on and off the pitch. They are a credit to their families, clubs and the county. I hope that the players involved will go on and play senior with Cork in the future.”

Rebel Óg are requesting clubs assistance to locate trophies

Rebel Óg are currently requesting the assistance of clubs to locate the whereabouts of trophies that have not been presented for competitions for some years. These include the Liam Lyne, Stephen Nolan and Frank Halbert cups.

In particular, Rebel Óg is anxious to locate the Dick Barrett Shield which was last played for around 2013 and is missing since 2015. This is a very prestigious shield and Rebel Óg are especially keen to find it as the centenary of Dick Barrett’s death approaches and it may be required for some events.

The co-operation of all clubs is very much appreciated in this matter. If you can assist in any way, please contact either Jim Healy (085/8531145) or Donal Whooley (087/9780950). Alternatively you can email secretarybng.cork@gaa.ie
