The Minor Section recognise that the effective transition under the Cuala Player pathway from Minor Age Groups to Adult Games is essential to ensure that minor players continue to participate and develop as players into adulthood and that Cuala’s responsibilities to all aspects of player welfare continue to be served.
In light of the record number of players, both male and female, currently and forecast at minor and juvenile levels, the Cuala Minor Section propose that as part of the Cuala Strategic Plan for the future that incoming Coiste set up a working group to review the operation of the Cuala Player pathway and recommend the implementation of best practices that will ensure maximum continued player participation, development and enjoyment of our games.”
