A Rúnaí, a chara,
Following on from feedback at recent meetings, Bord na nÓg along with CCC1 & CCC2 have approved the attached Master Juvenile Calendar for the 2025 season covering the age groups under 8 to under 16.
The calendar is in line with the 2024 season:
- U8 to U11 : – TWELVE (12) dates for both Hurling & Football with a Blitz date for one code at each age grade.
- U12 : – Hurling Grading 6 team groups , Football Grading 6 team groups ,followed by Leagues (Both) 8 team Divisions which gives 12 dates for both codes.
- U13 : – Hurling Grading 6 team groups, Football Grading 6 team groups , followed by Leagues (Both) 10 team Divisions which gives 14 dates for both codes.
- U14 : – Phase 1 with 5 games , Phase 2 with 5 games , followed by Knockout games giving 13 dates for both codes (note this is a fully intergraded competition from start to finish- no regrading)
- U15 : – Féile (Round Robin 3 Group dates, Semi / Finals Day) Cup & Shield competitions followed by 8 team Leagues providing 11 dates per code.
- U16 : – 8 Team leagues – single round , Round Robin Championship & Knock-out games including Shield competitions providing 13 dates per code.
2025 Dublin GAA Juvenile Hurling & Football Teams Entries:
CCC1 & CCC2 have already issued the 2025 Dublin GAA Juvenile Hurling & Football Entry Form with a return date Monday 6th January 2025.
It is important the 06/01/25 deadline is met as though the timetable is tight the committees offer under 12 , under 13 & under 14 age grades a self-grading input before Proposed Gradings are issued.
Football Rules Changes:
Like all bodies within the GAA, the juvenile committees are currently taking on board the proposed rule changes.
The general view is to test the new rules by implementing all applicable rules for our underage club games.
The likely position for our Go Games program ( under 8 to under 12) is to make no changes as the new rules only introduced in 2023.
Bord na nÓg, CCC1 & CCC2 hope to update Clubs by 10/01/25 in advance of CCC1 & CCC2 County Delegate meetings w/c 13/01/25 to confirm competition gradings for the new season.
