Keeping Respect in our games

Over the past couple of summers, GAA patrons have become accustomed to seeing the banners at half-time during championship games promoting the GAA’s respect initiative.

This initiative is aimed at young players plus individuals involved with underage games. Concerns were raised at the deteriorating standards of behaviour at underage games and the respect initiative was seen as an appropriate response to addressing the problem.

Many individuals are involved in supporting the initiative, particularly the coaching and development personnel employed around the country. Their input has been invaluable.
