Middle East GAA is proud to announce details of the upcoming coaching weekend in Abu Dhabâi on the 10th and 11th October 2014. âOver the two days in October, the Middle East County Board will be running two separate GAA coaching courses at the same venue, Zayed Sports City in Abu Dhabi.

Foundation Award Course
The Foundation Award course is the first step on the GAA coaching ladder. The course is targeted at both ladies and men, coaches involved in training child, youth and adult players seeking qualification, teachers taking GAA into schools in the region and players looking to get on the coaching ladder. People attending the course must be over the age of 18.
Award Level 1 (Youth / Adult)
The Award Level 1 is the next step on the coaching ladder and we will be running the Youth / Adult version of the course. Due to the length of the course, the plan is to run Part 1 of this course (Modules 1, 4, 5a and 6) on the 10th and 11th October with the remaining modules (modules 2, 3, 5b and 7) planned for the 16th & 17th January 2015. The course is targeted at ladies and men, people who hold the Foundation Award qualification who are currently coaching youth or adult players in the region, coaches/players looking at taking the next step on the coaching ladder, and teachers looking to take the next step on the coaching ladder who are taking PE with youth (over 12 years of age) players. To attend this course, you will need to confirm your Foundation Award qualification. I have circulated the foundation award certs to clubs for those that sat the course in January 2014 in Dubai. People attending the course must be over the age of 18.â
