Well done Sports Rehabilitation student Adam Nolan on defending your title

20/07/2026

The World GAA Games take place every 3 years in Ireland and this year was held at SETU Arena in Waterford in an event that spanned 5 days, from 13th-17th July, culminating in a day of Finals in Walsh Park Stadium.
This years tournament had more than 2,000 players and coaches involved in Gaelic Football, Hurling, Ladies Gaelic Football, Camogie and Handball from 113 teams from across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Asia. There were 43 teams from Europe and 29 teams from the USA.
80% of this year’s players were not born in Ireland.
7 Athletic Therapy students from SETU volunteered their time to work in the Physio tent alongside 6 UPMC Physiotherapists and several Physiotherapy students.
The days were long and very busy but great fun with the students assessing and taping injuries, dressing wounds and massaging tired limbs. In total 1,844 athletes were treated by the team across the 5 days in what was a unique learning experience that was very much appreciated by all the players involved.

- Full-time coaching opportunities.
- Comprehensive onboarding and mentoring.
- Weekly CPD and coach development.
- Clear progression opportunities within a growing company.
- A supportive team environment with experienced coaches.

We’re looking for people who:

Have a positive attitude and a willingness to learn.
Are passionate about health and fitness.
Enjoy working with people.
Want to continually develop as coaches and professionals.

Previous coaching experience is an advantage, but attitude, work ethic and a genuine desire to improve are what matter most to us.
