A STRATEGY FOR DUBLIN GAA 2011-2017 theme 5: CREATING THE BRIDGE FROM PARTICIPATION TO INTER-COUNTY SUCCESS Dublin football is a significant flagship for the County Committee and generates sizeable revenues for the entire Association. Considerable competition exists for elite players and an attractive environment is necessary for these players to engage in GAA activity. Hurling is now another platform which elite players can aspire too. The benefits for Dublin having developed into a Tier One hurling county cannot be underestimated and continued success for Dublin at national level will do for hurling what the 70s team did for football and drive activity in the clubs and schools. The success of our inter county teams is vital to the promotion of Gaelic games in Dublin and the committee recognises the importance of building the bridge between the large participation numbers at juvenile level, to the development squads and ultimately to our inter county teams. The additional facilities and the extension of the weekend games schedule should also assist in the preparation of Dublin’s inter county teams as there will be additional space in the weekend calendar for development squad meetings and training. Success on the field at inter county level has demonstrated the ability of the Dublin jersey to captivate an entire county and beyond. Through the implementation and delivery on each of the key strategic actions identified below, the DCC has set out the following performance targets for the years 2011 to 2017. The Strategic Committee recognises that Dublin GAA’s commitment to a dual player strategy at club level will bring challenges in creating favourable conditions for excellence and the development of elite talent. Best practice on skill development advises that specialisation in one code (be it football or hurling) from age 15 onwards is preferable to enable the advanced technical development of players and achieve peak performance in the chosen code. Whilst acknowledging best practice advice the committee believes that a balance must be sought between the competing demands of elite player development and Dublin GAA’s dual player ethos, and this is reflected in the key actions presented. The following are the key strategic objectives under this theme: 1. Building the bridge from participation to inter-county success. 2. Set key performance targets for the inter-county teams at all age levels in both codes. ■ ■ ■ Win a Senior football All-Ireland every 3 years. Win Senior All-Ireland Hurling Final every 5 years. Win one Minor All-Ireland Football and one Minor All-Ireland Hurling title every 3 years. ■ Win one U21 All-Ireland Football and one U21 All-Ireland Hurling titles every 5 years. 51
