The Ladies Gaelic Football Association is inviting applications for its second 'BUA' Leadership and Life-skills programme.  

‘BUA - Believe Unlock Potential Achieve’ is a self-development initiative aimed at developing the leadership and life skills of young people within the Ladies Gaelic Association, which, in turn, will benefit their local communities.  

Aimed at females aged 16-19 years of age, ‘BUA’ will be conducted through expert-led workshops and self-reflection, before participants put their enhanced leadership skills into practice through a club action project. 

Selected participants will receive support as they cover topics essential for young people, including: 

Resilience 

Dealing with change 

Building trust and respect 

Conflict resolution 

Problem solving 

Project planning and delegation 

In addition, LGFA-specific topics including introductions to coaching, officiating and administration will be covered. 

‘BUA’ will begin in September 2022 and finish in March 2023, with participants attending five leadership training sessions remotely, while there will be two LGFA-specific modules between each leadership session that participants can choose from, depending on their area of interest. 

The closing date for applications is Friday 26th August, and applicants can get all further details including the application form at https://ladiesgaelic.ie/lgfa-hub/games-development/bua-programme/
