The course is aimed at experienced coaches that have progressed through the Introduction to Coaching Gaelic Games/Foundation and Award 1 programmes.  In the same manner as the Award 1 course, the Award 2 course has been developed to take account of the different playing capacities that exist between children (up to 12 years), youths (age 13 – 18) and adults (age 19+) and the competencies that a coach is required to display when working with each of the playing populations. This allows coaches to further their knowledge, experience and capabilities when working with the various playing populations.
