GAA Policy Statement: Aim and ethos of GAA Coach Education Programme

The GAA Coach Education Programme aims to ensure that all players and teams are
coached by a person qualified to the appropriate level who can enable them to achieve
their full potential.
The programme provides the opportunity for coaches to specialise in catering for the
particular needs of Child, Youth and Adult players as they strive towards Total Playing
Performance (TPP). It recognises that they will be best qualified to do so when using a
games-based approach to training and development and when they have the required
level of management and leadership capability, developed through a process of
experience and reflection.

combine to drive this process and create an environment within which Coaching and
Communication Inputs produce a Cohesive Team within a context of individual and
collective well being.

The programme is grounded in the Association values of Community Identity, Amateur
Status, Inclusiveness, Respect, Player Welfare and Teamwork.
