The child is in P1 and wants to go to the underage camogie. What is the world coming to? Is it normal nowadays for such young teams? I never thought camogie would be available for such young kids?
Why not ?
Beats eating worms and talking to imaginary friends all day.
Definitely no need to be separating sexes at that age.

Is that a dig at McGeeney?
I heard he spends €50 a day on worms.

Jaysus Feckitt, in these days of nintendos and childhood obesity you should be delighted she wants to play any sports.
Sure nurseries all around the country has young lads and lasses of this age playing the games.
My nephews 5 and 3.5 are playing both hurling and gaelic football with the club....not in teams yet of course though

No doubt the younger lad has more ability than the 5 year old if he'd only stay away from the Farleys Rusks.
I'd agree with nb you should be happy their wanting to play sports and not some auld console instead. And sure at that age most of it is just about running about and enjoyment. I'd say you'd see little difference in football at that age and a game of tag!! They'll all just run after the ball and sure isn't it good for them!!

Good man Jinxy. You're in good form today.
I started at 7 years of age
I know a few lads whos gaelic career peaked at P.3
ye need to keep an eye that the coach remebers they are teaching babies . most wouldn't have a clue what to expect from kids that age and are doing it because one of their kids are in it or they drew the short straw at the bord na óg agm
. i saw one lad give under 6's an almost identical session hed give adults mainly a 20 a side game where the biggest kid kept the ball

Reminds me of a story from a few years back. One of our teams reserve players was working with one of the senior players. The reserve player was saying that he found training a bit tough and hadn't the legs for matches. The senior player thought he would wind him up and said that before each training session he ate 3 Farleys Rusks. The reserve play sucked it in but the snior player thought nothing more of it. Then a few weeks later the reserve player asked the senior player had he any bother having a crap and he hadn't shit in weeks!! Cue massive roars of laugher from senior player and every person at training being told the story. The dumb cub had actually went out and bought farleys Rusks and was eating them dry before training.

Help out with the U6's myself, the difference in size and development between P1's and P2's can be huge, we tend to keep them apart - games tend to be a waste of time too, we mostly paly 'tig' to wrap up.
The wee lad just turned three there, and is showing great potiential, only problem bein hes awful fond of the bottle.
