At Wanderers GAA we believe every child should have the chance to play, move, and make friends in a fun and safe environment.

Our Nursery (ages 4–6) and Academy (6+) introduce kids to the fundamentals of Gaelic games through play, games, and age-appropriate activities.

No experience is needed – just plenty of energy and a smile!

Nursery (Ages 4–6)


  • Sessions every Saturday, 9:45 – 10:45am

  • Venue: Scoil Mhuire, Whitechurch (Google maps)
