What do you think are the key ingredients needed to make a person or organisation the Best of the West?  

What do you think are the key ingredients needed to make a person or organisation the Best of the West?* For a juvenile GAA club its about having a collection of like minded, passionate individuals who are selfless in their time, dedicated to improving the lives of the children that they coach and ensuring that every child feels equally valued irrespective of their ability. The motto of the GAA is 'where we all belong' everyone of our members are made to feel this is exactly where they belong.

 

We are a young 4 code club with just under 300 members, we strive to ensure there is something on and off the pitch for all members and strictly adhere to the GAA go games policy where everybody, irrespective of age of ability gets a go!
