GAA Games Development Conference 2008

Capacity Attendance for GAA Games Development Conference
The GAA has announced that it has received its maximum number of bookings for the 2008 GAA Games Development Conference sponsored by Lucozade Sport, taking place in Croke Park this weekend. Over 750 delegates from all 32 Counties and 8 different Countries have already registered, making it the largest Conference of its kind in Europe.
GAA Games Development Manager, Jimmy D'Arcy, said 'the GAA are very pleased with the continuing high level of interest shown in the National Games Development Conference, which is now in its 6th consecutive year and its 3rd in Croke Park. The Conference aims to address issues relevant to players at all stages of development and to the coaches who give so much of their time to nurture them. This year the conference theme is 'A Games Based Approach to Training and Development' with the focus on the provision of quality games programmes and coaching initiatives which are specifically suited to the stage of development and ability of players.'
Due to the maximum number of delegates pre-registering the GAA would like to emphasise that they will not be able to accommodate individuals who turn up on the day in the hope of registering. However Jimmy D'Arcy pointed out that while 'traditionally there would have been places available on the day for people that decided late to attend, the link up with RTÉ.ie to webcast the Conference will allow anyone unable to attend to view the Conference live.'

The conference will take place next Friday, 28th November, and Saturday, 29th November and RTÉ.ie will stream Saturday's proceedings in full live on the web. Internet users around the world can watch the conference on RTÉ.ie's GAA Media Player on www.rte.ie/gaa.
