Cork GAA Coaching and Games would like to remind all clubs that the LEE FLAG Coaching Initiative has deadlines approaching. (October 1st for Bronze Award and November 1st for Silver Award)
This means that clubs who are wishing to be included in the scheme for 2013 should liaise with their local GDA to ensure that they are on track to meet all the targets in the category which they are hoping to reach.

One of the key areas which clubs will have to watch for is the Nursery Programme.
If your club has no clear plan in place for the Nursery Section of your club, then you will not qualify for the Silver or Gold Awards.

However, your club still has some time and if you wish to put this plan in place, then please contact your local GDA who would be happy help guide your club towards achieving this target.

Over the next 4 weeks Coaching and Games will be posting information on how to achieve targets in all 15 areas of the LEE FLAG Initiative.

Achieving LEE FLAG accredited status entitles your club to a host of benefits including :

• Exclusive access to the hurley and helmet subsidy scheme for 2014
• Guarantee of 5 GDA visits in 2014
• Entry in to draw for All Ireland Hurling and Football Final tickets 2014
• Entry in to draw for Munster Hurling and Football Final tickets 2014
• Club U 12 teams will receive a Coaching day with Inter County players at County stadiums in 2014
