Juvenile GAA Registration

Aake

Hi , I have a 14 & 12 year old and there registration fee is €32 each .
Anyone think this is a bit much or is it the going rate ?
Thanks

depends on what ya get for it

how many teams they can play etc

Stationmaster

Seems reasonable to me. Most gaa clubs have very good facilities these days as well as decent coaches. Most other activities kids go to these days require a fee per visit e.g €10 for every gymnastics class etc so I think it sounds good value. Does the club offer family membership as well?

I cannot read the amount per child.

I cant read the amount per child either but for comparison our GAA club charges Juveniles €40 per year or its €100 family membership. Superb value. for what my boys get out of it, id happily pay double.

Two sessions each, football & Hurling each week with a game most weeks from March to September and beyond if they reach the latter stages. The social aspect is really important - ours is a rural community and the GAA park is the place to be in the summer evenings, theres always a game to see or even for a puck about. Best value in town

Sorry it's €32 per child

im guessing that a euro sign in some parallel universe.

Ours is a tenner per child. 40 for a playing adult and 20 for a non-playing adult. The juveniles get at least 2 training sessions a week and have a good shout at winning divisional championships at A grade level in Tipperary.

10 for a child or 20 for an adult and however many children they have. But we are just a football club. There is a separate hurling club costing 20 per child or 35 for family

What kind of money would it cost ?

My sister was on about how cheap the Cul Camps were (€55 for the first child and €45 for a 2nd) in comparison to paying a child-minder/baby-sitter in terms of per-hour.

The camps run 10 to 2:30 so it works out at less than €2.50 a hour (plus they get a kitbag, a jersey and a training top)

I'd imagine if you broke down the juvenile registration fee in terms of a comparison to the amount of hours at training/games versus the cost of a child-minder it would look even better in terms of a value proposition.

Our membership is €20 per child
so works out at 63c per training session, running from March to September

We pay 40 for hurling and 50 for Gaelic...150 for soccer...only one child so I don't know what family rates there are...32 er for both sounds great value. (Tipp family in Kildare)

32 euro sound extremely cheap for what you get out of it.
I haven't seen the going rates for juvenile registration in quite a while, but I'm actually amazed it is so cheap.
