GAA Injury Scheme (2013)

In the incoming school year, the cost of affiliation to the GAA’s Injury Scheme remains at €300 per school regardless of the number of teams involved.

This annual rate of €300 covers all school teams and players in both competition and challenge matches, and in all preparation and training.

There is no laborious form-filling involved; all your school has to do is send a cheque for €300 and an official letter to Sinead Quinn, Player Injury Scheme Section, Croke Park, Jones Road, Dublin 3. (Tel 00353 1 8658660)

Please note that the GAA Scheme operates on the 1st Jan – 31st Dec calendar year rather than per school year; this is not an issue, however, because the coverage is per team, not per individual. Please also note that school players need not be registered club members of CLCG although the relevant Claims Form does require a membership number; Sinead Quinn has confirmed that this requirement does not apply to schools.

Please also be aware your school’s Public Liability Insurance does NOT act as Personal Accident Insurance or as an Injury Scheme for players. Many team coaches do not seem to realise that this is the case.

This annual rate of €300 is heavily subsidised by CLCG, and your committee strongly recommends that every school affiliates to the scheme. €300 would not even meet the cost of a single scan.
