What is a Nursery?
- A Nursery is the best way to introduce children aged 4-6 to Gaelic Games
- It's all about fun, being involved in exciting activities and developing children's movement and motor skills
- The Nursery Programme aims to develop essential Fundamental Movements which are the building blocks for future skill development in our games
- The Nursery Programme is in many cases a child's, and possibly parents/guardians, first introduction to sports and exercise in a planned and structured environment
- It may also be their first introduction to your club
