Due to the worldwide Covid19 pandemic, we are living in very different times. The GAA / PDST Future Leaders Solo Challenge is designed to promote positivity, physical activity and wellbeing among young people, while encouraging them to stay at home and follow HSE guidelines at the same time.

It is a student and teacher challenge which will run for a number of weeks.

There will be different challenges each week, all linked to the modules in the programme.

To get involved, students and teachers record videos of themselves doing the various challenges and upload them to Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.

Students can enter as many videos they like for as many of the challenges they like each week!

Be as creative and as imaginative as you like but remember to stay safe while doing the challenges and at all times follow the HSE guidelines.

Weekly Challenges:

You can do any or all of these as many times as you want! We will have different challenges each week;

Week 1:

a) Hurling & Gaelic Football Skills Challenge - Can you complete Limerick's Tom Morrissey Hurling Wall Ball Volley Challenge or Clare's Podge Collins Football Hand Pass or Kicking Accuracy Challenges?

Hurling:

Stand about 10 feet back from the wall and strike the ball against the wall, vollying or doubling on it each time it returns without catching or controling it on the hurley. See how many you can get in a row!

Football:

Handpass - Pick or put a target on the wall and from about 10 feet back hit the target with a handpass. The handpasses should be every second side, right hand, left hand and so on. How many times can you hit the target in 30 seconds?

Footpass - Using that same target, this time from about 10 meters back, hit the target with a kickpass. The kickpasses should be every second side, right foot, left foot and so on. How many times can you hit the target in 30 seconds?

b) Crest Design Challenge - Put your artistic talents to good use and design a new crest for your Club, School or County. It would be great to see photos of the process from start to finish.

c) Wellbeing Challenge – It's very important to keep active while at home, so we are challenging you to send us videos of the home workouts or TikTok dance routines you are using to keep fit.
