Why not try a spot of cooking with recipes from your Irish Soccer Players.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Three times a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, three healthy recipes that are fun to make and healthy to eat will be chosen by members of the Ireland senior squad and available to download.

The recipes have been carefully crafted to ensure a balanced mix of vitamins and minerals are present in each meal and snack and will help keep people satisfied over the coming weeks and months.

SPAR has a proud history of promoting healthy eating through their SPAR Better Choices and SPAR Better Choices Kids initiatives and these recipes highlight that people can rely on their local SPAR retailer to maintain their healthy lifestyles during the Covid-19 lockdown.

20 players from the Republic of Ireland Men's and Women's Senior Teams are involved in the 2020 Healthy Eating Guide, including SPAR FAI Primary School 5s Ambassadors Amber Barrett and Jack Byrne (pictured above).

"Before starting Super Troopers, my daughter had no interest in walking anywhere or participating in any physical activity other than the sports she plays twice per week. Once she started using the Activity Journal she became more active. She enjoys seeing how much activity she is getting each week and the Wall Chart helps to make her more aware of her levels of activity."

Take a look at what's available! #GAASolo

Organising Online Exercise and Coaching Sessions
The temporary postponement of our games and training sessions has undoubtedly impacted on many of us including our underage teams and the children and young people in our clubs, i.e. those under 18 yrs. of age and their families.

It is however always gratifying to hear of coaches and clubs who have recently contacted us seeking permission during these restricted times to deliver live online exercise and coaching sessions for our underage teams. With the correct safety guidance and good practices in place, we wish to support such initiatives.

In the downloads section of this page you will find protocols around organising these sessions, outlining the safeguards that must be adhered to when staging this type of activity and a guide to using 'Microsoft Teams', an online collaboration tool which is available to holders of official GAA email addresses and can be used to organise club activities with members.

For the safety of all of our members, please ensure you do not organise or participate in sessions that do not follow the GAA's guidance on this area.
