St Agnes Juveniles
Where young Aggies begin.
Fun, friendship, belonging and Gaelic games from Fundamentals through to U16. We welcome boys and girls of all abilities into a club where every child can learn, improve and feel part of something.
For Parents
Everything you need to know in one place.
Our juvenile section is at the heart of St Agnes GAC. We want parents to know who we are, what we teach, where we train, who looks after your children and how your child can become part of the Aggies.
Our Mantra
Every child welcomed. Every child encouraged. Every child an Aggie.
We measure success by more than results. We want young people to enjoy Gaelic games, build confidence, make friendships, respect teammates and opponents, and grow up proud to represent St Agnes.

We want children to experience the full range of Gaelic games and to build transferable skills across codes.
Coaching days
Skills days, camps, guest coaching sessions and development events give players something different to enjoy throughout the year.
First aid & safeguarding
We promote a safe environment and support appropriate first-aid, safeguarding and coach-development training across the juvenile section.
Get-togethers
Team days, family events and social activities help children and parents feel part of the wider St Agnes community.
Irish language
We are proud of the culture behind our games and want to encourage Irish language and identity naturally through club life.
Standards
How we look after our young players.
Our approach is built around respect, inclusion, safety and development. We want children to enjoy coming to training and parents to feel confident in the environment around them.
Code of practice
Respect coaches, teammates, officials, opponents and families. Encourage positively and put child welfare first.
Positive coaching
Teach, encourage and challenge players without losing sight of enjoyment and confidence.
Player welfare
Safe coaching environments, appropriate supervision and clear communication with parents are central to our juvenile section.
Everyone belongs
New players, returning players and complete beginners are welcome. A child does not need previous Gaelic games experience to join us.
Why St Agnes?
Come down and become part of the Aggies.
St Agnes is a community club. Children come to play, but families stay because of friendships, volunteers, shared pride and the feeling of belonging to something local. We want our juvenile section to be a place where young people make memories and where parents feel welcome too.
