Over the last two years, Baile Buadaín Naomh Éanna GAA Club has run a very successful programme for 5 year olds. The programme is called Boden Óg Spraoi with an emphasis on the development of Fundamental Movement Skills in a Fun (Spraoi) environment. Boden Óg Spraoi acts as an introduction to our local GAA club and as an introduction to the wonderful world of Gaelic Games. Over 140 children have participated each year and then graduate to Boden Óg.

The programme runs at two indoor venues on Saturday mornings, St Marys BNS, Rathfarnham and Gaelscoil Chnoc Liamhna, Boden Og Spraoi has two modules. Module 1 runs for 8 sessions from October 4th to November 29th and Module 2 runs for 10 sessions from February 7th to April 25th. Each session lasts 50 minutes.

We are currently planning the Boden Óg Spraoi programme, which will commence in October. Registration will go live in early September. The programme is coordinated by Jane Hogan Spain, a club volunteer and member of our club Executive. The programme requires a group of parents willing to coach and act as coordinators. Training will be provided in September for coaches and coordinators. If you are willing to coach or assist as a coordinator, please reach out to Jane via email to spraoi@ballyboden.ie and provide your your contact details. Parents who volunteer as coaches or coordinators will be assured of a place for their child/children.

If you do not have a child in this age category, please forward these details to any friend who has a boy/girl born in 2020.
