3. You will be added to the appropriate WhatsApp group on the Friday after joining

What do I need to do every week?

On a weekly basis, please follow these rules:

• Know what colour group your child has been assigned to. They should be brought straight to this colour group and be ready for the warm up.
• A parent/guardian MUST remain for the full duration of the session.

What sports are done at Nursery?

Nursery covers Gaelic football, hurling/camogie, handball, rounders, and athletic development. Children are introduced to these sports in an age-appropriate fashion, following a curriculum designed by a team of expert coaches within Na Fianna.

Can I volunteer to help?

Absolutely! Nursery could not function without the involvement of parent/guardian volunteers. There are a number of roles to suit a wide range of people, ranging from helping out with timekeeping to coaching. The commitment is only from week to week, as you are available. No previous experience in either coaching or Gaelic Games is needed, as full training is provided by the club. If you are in a position to volunteer in any capacity, please contact the lead mentor for your group, once you are added to the relevant WhatsApp group. Please don’t wait to be asked – more volunteers are always welcome!
