COVID-19 Health Questionnaire Released Today

June 23, 2020

The Covid Health Questionnaire is now available. Each person participating in Gaelic Games must complete this questionnaire prior to the first occasion that they return to the Club.

Forms can be accessed by visiting the URL https://returntoplay.gaa.ie.

Each person participating in Gaelic Games must also re-confirm that their Health Status hasn’t changed on each subsequent occasion that they participate.

Parents/Guardians can submit forms on behalf of their dependents and forms can also be submitted on behalf of persons who may struggle with completing the electronic form themselves.

COVID Supervisors in clubs can verify that individual members of their teams/panels have submitted forms and are permitted to participate.

They do not have access to view the specific information provided via the Health Questionnaire, they will simply be able to see that the questionnaire has been submitted. Personal Information contained on the Health Questionnaires is stored for a maximum period of three weeks.

Go HERE for information on how to fill out the Covid Health Questionnaire.

All Covid Supervisors/Club Officers, Players/Team Personnel, and the Parents/Guardians of Underage Players must also complete the GAA’s Covid-19 Club Education eLearning Module.

Go HERE to access the GAA’s Covid-19 Club Education eLearning Module.

Both of these elements must be completed prior to your return to Club activity.

COVID-19 Club Education eLearning Module launched for Gaelic Games

June 19, 2020

The GAA, LGFA and Camogie Association have announced the launch of an eLearning module to inform club volunteers on the guidelines for the safe return to Gaelic Games.

The eLearning module has been prepared for Covid Supervisors/Club Officers, Players/Team Personnel, and the Parents/Guardians of Underage Players. Anyone attending training sessions or games in Club facilities must also take the module to gain an understanding of the Safe Return Guidelines.

The module takes 20-minutes to complete and can be accessed anytime via any PC, mobile or tablet device. Those who pass a simple quiz will be able to gain a Certificate which they can print or take a screenshot of to show the Covid Supervisor for their team before their initial return to Club activity, e.g. a training session or game.

Any major changes to the content of the module will be made as soon as possible after policy updates are confirmed and such updates will also be highlighted in the latest updates section of the Covid-19 Education page on the GAA Learning Portal.

The recent Club Briefing Webinar and other resources such as posters/FAQ lists etc. are also available.
