Top GAA official seeks fast-track coaching award system

A leading provincial official has warned the deadline for county and club team coaches to attain GAA-recognised requirements is too ambitious.

By January next year, all county teams must have a management member with an Award 2 coaching qualification.

By 2018, all head coaches at inter-county level must possess that same Award 2 qualification, while by next year, all club management teams must contain an Award 1 coach.
