If you have any interest in signing your child up for our Youth Gaelic Football Team, please fill out this form! Our youth program is for ages 6-16!
Playing with the New Haven Gaelic Football Team is completely FREE!
Gaelic Football is the National Sport of Ireland. It is a fast paced sport that uses the fundamentals of soccer, basketball, and rugby. However, there is no tackling like there is in rugby and American football. It is super easy to learn and we would love to teach you! If you are looking for a sport or activity for your child to become involved in, Gaelic Football is the perfect choice! If you have never heard of Gaelic Football before, that's okay! Watch this quick video to see what it is all about!
The Rules of Gaelic Football
Our club is based out of the Irish American Community Center in East Haven, CT. We have a full Gaelic Football field as well as a clubhouse for events and after practice hangouts! Practices are usually on Thursday evenings and sometimes on Sundays. Games are held on Saturdays. There is both a Spring and Fall season for our youth team and we also rent out spaces to practice in the Winter. There is also a Summer tournament each year called the Continental Youth Championships (CYC). Past hosts for the Continental Youth Championships have been Boston, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Philadelphia!
There is no need for any experience with the sport. It is super easy to learn and an absolute blast to play. Filling out this form does not mean you have to commit to playing! We are just hoping to grow the sport and find new families who have any interest at all. And who knows, maybe join our amazing club and culture!
We plan on having FREE clinics in the winter and spring to show how the sport works, as well as, regular Thursday and Sunday practices. Please fill out the form so you can stay updated!
If you have any questions about our club or the sport, please feel free to email Aidan McCormack at aidan.newhavenfootball@gmail.com.
We can't wait to meet you all! Also, if you don't follow us already, give us a follow on Facebook and Instagram! They are both great for staying updated on upcoming events, practice, and training with our club!
