What to expect
Experience a Gaelic Games session at a local GAA Club called "Liam Mellows", located a short bus/taxi journey from Galway City Centre. Our modern facility includes a dedicated visitor centre. The 402 Bus stops only 500 metres from the club.
Sessions start with an introduction to what are known locally as "Gaelic Games". This includes history of the games, their revered place to life in Ireland and how the games are structured/played. You’ll see video clips, Irish passion for GAA and will generally just have the craic.
Following the engaging introduction, it is out to the astro pitch, where you'll partake in gentle team building activities of Gaelic Football and Hurling. You’ll need flat footwear and a willingness to have fun. Casual clothing is preferable. Bring sporting attire if you'll get competitive. There is water, tea/coffee available. If you wish to use our on-site dressing rooms/showers, please bring your own towels/toiletries.
Interaction makes the event: our trainers are great; they are passionate about their beloved games and really interact with visitors. Depending on the group you most likely play mini-matches - all in good fun!

We had a great family time with our 2 daughters aged 9 and 11. It's a great way to discover Ireland from an original angle. The host was able to share his passion for hurling and Gaelic football with us, with great kindness, patience and fun. Memorable experience, we recommend it.

We were a team of 5 irish girls, joined a group of 10 americans. We had so much fun learning about the origins of hurling and gaelic, learned loads, made us super proud to be Irish. Then out to the astroturf for Ireland V America in actual Hurling drills, it was the best craic and really good exercise, even if we lost to the Americans, it didnt matter, it was all in good spirit. The coaches are very knowledgeable, skilled, professional, friendly and fun. This is a real hidden gem in Galway, and in a fantastic facility at one of the oldest GAA clubs in the City right on the beach, i wish more people knew about it. What better way to spend a few hours while in the city.It is a must. You would always remember it. It is an amazing experience. Mile was just perfect. You had fun, we learn so much. And believe us: it is more complex than you think!!! You had the chance to see a gaming after, and we have to say: those athletes are amazing!!!
