Description

Join my weekly coaching & performance email list:https://fhs-performance.kit.com/4d8709e773Should underage players be streamed by ability in Gaelic Games?In this episode, I’m joined by David Moran, postdoctoral researcher at DCU and coach developer, to explore one of the most debated topics in youth sport — ability grouping and streaming in underage teams.We discuss research examining the experiences of players, parents and coaches in clubs that stream players at U13, U15 and U17 level. Rather than framing streaming as simply “good” or “bad,” the conversation focuses on how it is implemented and the impact it can have on player development, challenge, belonging and motivation.We cover:Why streaming is becoming more common in large clubsPotential benefits of appropriate challenge and stable teamsThe risks of rigid streaming structuresMovement between teams and maintaining development opportunitiesResource allocation across A, B and C teamsDifferences in boys’ and girls’ experiencesWhy lower-tier teams still care deeply about competing and winningA thought-provoking conversation for coaches, club leaders, parents and coach developers navigating how best to structure underage teams in growing clubs.
