(Praise the young and they will flourish)

The goal of the GAA Albany Rebels Youth Program is to engage boys and girls in the action-packed and fun-filled experience of the traditional Gaelic Games that has captured the hearts of youth, families, and people of all ages for generations, in Ireland and around the world.

 

More than just playing a team sport, GAA organizes youth into dynamic clubs that bring youth and families together to develop friendships, build social ties to the community, and celebrate the thrill of Gaelic football, hurling, and camogie.

This program is FREE and available to boys and girls ages 7–17. Participants will be grouped by age to ensure everyone can meaningfully participate. Age groups will be sorted as follows:

.

  • 7–8

  • 9–11

  • 12–14

  • 15–17

🗓️ When & Where


The Youth Program will run every Saturday from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM on the following dates:

📍 Location
Our field is located behind the Celtic Hall at 430 New Karner Rd, Albany, NY 12205.


Youth teams play one another locally and have opportunities to play other youth teams in the
region and participate in regional tournaments.

 

Youth work with trained coaches learning age-appropriate skills.


Youth participate in annual Cúl camps, learning basic skills, improving techniques, enhancing
teamwork, promoting safety, while increasing physical and mental health and fitness.


Youth engage in healthy competition to bring out the best of each player while developing
strong friendships.

By joining the Youth Program, your child won’t just become an athlete, they’ll be part of an intergenerational GAA club community, connected to the global Gaelic Athletic Association network.

Whether your child is stepping onto the pitch for the first time or looking to sharpen their skills, this is a chance to be part of something special - a growing community rooted in tradition, teamwork, and camaraderie.
