The Calgary Fianna Gaa was established by Patrick Mansfield in 2014 and ever since this little club has gone from strength to strength. With seven committee members and Paddy at the helm it has been a long, busy but rewarding road. We are passionate about keeping our Irish roots alive and kicking! We take pride in teaching our eager kids to enjoy the unique Gaelic Football experience through weekly training sessions. We have recently had the pleasure of a visit from one of the top 5 GAA referees in Ireland, Mr. David Gough, who came to speak to the kids at our St. Patrick’s Day celebration. We are also hoping to participate in the upcoming Alberta cup in Calgary and Red Deer in June and July.
It is heartwarming to see the happiness on the children’s faces as they enhance their skills and socialise with Irish/Canadian connections. We are proud to welcome children of all ages and nationalities to participate in our historic sport and would love more to become part of our enthusiastic team and enjoy making history with the first children’s GAA club in Calgary.
We have a registration day coming up on the 14th May from 12-2pm at Bishop O Byrne High School football field and would like to extend an invitation to all to come along with your kids if they are between the ages of 4 and 17 and join our expanding club . Please feel welcome to visit our website on www.calgaryfiannagaa.teamapp.com, check our Facebook page “Calgary Fiannagaa” or email us on calgaryfianna@gmail.com
Warm welcomes, fun & fitness guaranteed.
