A webinar on the new Gaelic football rule enhancements will take place on Monday, December 16 featuring several Football Review Committee (FRC) members and GAA coaching staff.

GAA Coaching and Games Development will host the webinar to explain the new rules that were passed at Special Congress last Saturday. They will apply in 2025 across club and county competitions.

FRC members Éamonn Fitzmaurice, James Horan, Colm Collins and Colm Nally will contribute along with GAA National Player Development Lead Jack Cooney and National Coach Development Coordinator Emma Byrne.

It is part of an educational programme that will be rolled out across the coming month for referees, coaches and players. Those that register for the webinar can submit questions in advance and an FAQ resource will be available from December 6.

Speaking on the Irish Examiner’s Gaelic football podcast, FRC member and former Mayo manager James Horan said there will be a wide rollout over next few weeks.

“There were several meetings today actually on how we are going to develop the coaching manuals for inter-county coaches, the training module for referees, there will be web sessions and face-to-faces, there is going to be road shows.”
