Spa Mothers & Others was established in 2024 and has quickly become one of the most vibrant and welcoming groups in our club. With over 50 members and growing, itβs a fantastic way for women in our community to get active, try something new and enjoy being part of Spa GAA in a fun, relaxed environment.
Whether youβve played football before or never kicked a ball in your life, you are more than welcome.
What Is Mothers & Others?
Our programme is part of the Ladies Gaelic Football Association initiative known as Gaelic4Mothers&Others (G4M&O).
Gaelic4Mothers&Others is designed to introduce women to Gaelic football in a fun, non-competitive and social setting. There are:
No scores kept
No league tables
No pressure
The emphasis is on enjoyment, learning skills, improving fitness and building friendships.
While originally aimed at mothers, the programme is open to all women aged 25+ (who are not currently playing competitive LGFA football). In fact, across the country, over 60% of participants had never previously played Gaelic football before joining.
It operates nationwide, with local training sessions, blitz days and social festivals β all focused on participation and fun.
