Roscommon GAA County Board is presently carrying out a root and branch Football review of its competitions and structures.A report on the review will then be presented to the clubs. Any adaptations that emerge from this review will be presented for adoption to club delegates and will be implemented for the 2018 season.
The guidelines that the review committee have been tasked with following are as follows;
- To assess current competitions.
- Examine combination/independent units within the county.
- Examine best practice in relation to other counties.
- Assess whether we have enough or too many competitions.
- Investigate aligning underage categories within the county in line with national age category changes.
To formulate the “ review report” a consultation process has commenced. The review group hope to get as wide an input as possible, from all the stakeholders and interested parties, into the development of the next Club Competitions Structures Plan for Roscommon.
To gather information there is a survey which can be downloaded from the Roscommon GAA website.
The questionnaire hopes to elicit responses from different perspectives, club officials, Mentors/Coach, Players (both past and present) and members. These responses will determine the direction of Roscommon club football until the next review which is scheduled for 2020.
Three consultative meetings are also scheduled to take place
- Tuesday 5th September, Culleen Hall, Lecarrow at 9 pm,
- Wednesday 6th September, Strokestown GAA club, at 9 pm,
- Thursday 7th September, The Creamery, Croghan at 8 pm.
The review is inclusive of both Adult and Underage Competitions.
All clubs are asked to discuss this at their next committee meeting and circulate to all officers and coaches within your Football club.
