GAA GamePlanner V1 will be released at the Gaelic Athletic Associations (GAA) national conference at the end of November where it will be given to every coach attending the conference!

Earlier this year the Gaelic Athletic Association commissioned GamePlanner to create Hurling and Gaelic Football versions of our GamePlanner software. It was decided to create just one product containing both Hurling and Gaelic Football. The resulting software is called GAA GamePlanner V1.

The GAA intention is that GAA GamePlanner V1 will now form a fundamental part of the coaching programmes going forward and will provide coaches with the best sports animation software available to do their job in the 21st century.



GAA GamePlanner V1 is as comprehensive as our other software products and includes all the usual GamePlanner features such as:

Calendar

Documents

Club, Team, Player Details

So Hurling and Gaelic Football coaches will now be able to create and manage ANIMATED drills. This will provide them with the best possible format in which to educate players and fellow coaches to skills and ideas.

Jimmy D’Arcy, GAA Games Development Manager, said
'The GAA Games Development department are fully committed to supporting coaches through the Coach Education Programme and through the provision of cutting edge resources that utilise advances in technology to support their role. With GAA GamePlanner V1 coaches will be able to design their own drills and activities, building up a bank of choices to choose from when it comes to planning their next training session. However, it is also intended that as part of the ongoing development of the Games Development website that coaches will be able to submit their GamePlanner animations and share them with fellow coaches over the internet, thus giving each coach access to a much wider range of drills and activities, supporting learning and propagating best practice.
