Consensus is that the Non Competitive period is required, but at what stage of the match? And for How Long?
Would a
Feile
style substitute system cure any of the issues for clubs with less numbers and play 2 * 25 min periods?Slide8

OTHER FEEDBACK
Respect
Some Managers not wearing identifiable bibs
No need for complete management teams to wear the bibs
Managers should approach referee before match and participate in handshake
Consensus for before match only, and not at under 16 level.
Discipline
68% of clubs that responded said they had a good discipline record
9% of clubs said they had a poor record
First Aid
68% of clubs have dedicated person for first aidSlide11
OTHER FEEDBACK
Referees
A lot of clubs have responded to say that the referees used at juvenile level are too young and therefore inexperienced.
Referees should explain decisions to the players on the pitch.
Use of neutral umpires.
Some referees allow too much physicality for juvenile matches.
Clubs should support their own referees, when they are allocated to matches.
B (and C) Team Grading
These teams should be in their own divisions
Clubs are abusing grading and holding stronger players for use on both A&B teams
Proposal to grade for both A and B teams and limit movement between teamsSlide12
THINGS TO IMPROVE UPON…
Under 12s
Limit matches to 5 goals
Play every week
Double league
Avoid clashes with other sports on Saturdays
Non competitive matches/league
Winter matches
Under 14s
Avoid clashes with other sports on Saturdays
Play every
week
Play championships after leaguesSlide13
THINGS TO IMPROVE UPON…
Under 16s
Play championships after leagues
Avoid issues with overlap of players
Play on Tuesdays for Minors
Play on Thursday for Under 16s
Alternate weeks with Minors/Under 16s… single league…
Player burnout issues
Holiday period – reintroduce?
All Semi Finals & Finals in September
A & B teams play in 2 different venues at the
same timeSlide14
Some Proposed Changes for 2016
Fewer fixture
changes
Fewer
conceded matches
Match change- how this is communicated
Address disciplinary issues
Clubs
get used to playing without their players if necessary
Continue U12 rule about abuse to referee?
New rules re U11/U12 with enforced subs
Spring League- fewer games and earlier? More “real” matches Slide15
Child Protection and Vetting
Use of mobile phone in dressing rooms
Ulster GAA
Child Protection Audit
Need managers
& coaches
listed @ start
of season for verification
Vetting forms very badly filled in- no clubs, illegible
Club Code of Best Practice Hearings Committee
Our Games-Our Code, the joint Code of Best Practice in Youth Sport (updated Sept. 2015)
Anti-Bullying
Course
Set out your policy @ start of season by meeting parents & childrenSlide16
