Parents shouting at GAA kids may lead to silent games

The GAA is considering having some underage games played in total silence in an effort to stop over-enthusiastic parents shouting at children.

GAA president Liam O’Neill said that shouting at children, especially admonishing them, during games was unacceptable and lowered their self-esteem.

Now he is considering having U-6 and U-8 games being played in silence in an effort to stamp out the practice.
