INTER COUNTY SPECIFIC GUIDELINES

8. Training and Games at Senior, Minor and U20

The GAA’s intention remains that collective outdoor training for Senior inter county panels only may re-commence from January 15th. However, given the current growth rates in virus transmission, this date is under review. If there is any change to this as a return to collective training date, Counties will be informed as soon as possible.

For the moment, Senior inter-county players may train on an individual basis only in Club or County owned gyms.

No training is currently permitted for any other panels (e.g. Minor/U20)

Further information on the completion of the 2020 Minor and U20 competitions will issue in January.
