Mouth guards
Mouth guards are mandatory for players in all age grades, in all Gaelic football practice sessions and games. This rule has been mandatory for players in grades up to Minor since 2013 and applies to all age grades since January 1st 2014
The detailing is as follows
• It is the responsibility of each individual player to use a mouth guard
• A properly fitted mouth guard is the best available protective device for reducing the incidence and severity of sports-related dental injuries
• Players can be sent-off in a game for not wearing a mouth guard
• Players will not be covered under the GAA player injury scheme if they don’t comply with the mouth guard rule
The Bottom line is No Mouth guard? No Game!
