A query - My lads play football with a club and are members of that club. The club provides hurling up to Go-Games. Next year the lads are u12 and will have to play hurling with another neighbouring club. For insurance purposes would the membership of the football club cover the hurling or would we have to pay membership to the second club which plays football and hurling.

My understanding is that you are covered for both with registration at parent club and a sanction to play the code not available at parent club. Any dual payment is probably a local issue but you should certainly be covered.

This is correct if playing under a temporary sanction. What is tricky here is that U12 is technically still covered under go games so I don't think a temporary sanction in applicable.

Most occurrences of this there is only one membership fee paid to the home club and a sanction to hurl for the second however as above local arrangements apply (often just buy some lotto tickets at the second club) you need to apply for the sanction via your club secretary before the cut off date.

If a regular thing the club should consider an amalgamation for hurling at that age grade - great way to start building numbers for a stand alone team. It is registration rather then fee's that trigger Gaa cost recovery fund eligibility ( it is not an insurance policy/fund).

U12 is still go games rules so may not need a sanction and club secretary can advise, what you don't want to happen is you accidentally end up with the hurling club as your main club on Foireann.

I don't think you need a sanction for U12 go games.

You will for U13 up as teamsheets will be required.
