Award One Coaching Course - The Award 1 course is the second award on the coaching pathway. The course is aimed at coaches that have completed the Foundation Award, have experience as a coach & takes into account the different playing capacities that exist between children (up to 12 years), youths (age 13–17) and Adults (age 18+). This course consists of 7 modules and includes both theory and practical sessions. 

GAA Child Safeguarding 1 – This workshop is for all in the GAA that work with underage players – up to age 18. The GAA Code of Behaviour addresses the minimum appropriate levels of behaviour, practice and conduct required from our Young Players, Coaches, Supporters, Parents/Guardians, Referees and Clubs. This must be completed alongside the Foundation Award. There is now an Online Refresher Course available to take within 3 years of completing a Face to Face workshop or a workshop with another sporting organisation – it can be accessed at https://learning.gaa.ie/safeguarding.
