The Annual GAA National Inclusion Fitness Day is nearly here.
In 2020 120 clubs from across Ireland, UK, Europe, Canada, USA and the Middle East signed up to the initiative. Over 450 GAA clubs have also signed up the CARA disability sport charter.

On the week starting the 23 September 2021, the GAA invites all clubs to open their doors to the wider community and support GAA National Inclusive Fitness Day.
The 2021 NIFD theme is GAA Healthy Families - #GAAClann.
It's all part of European Week of Sport (23-30 September) and the aim is to promote sport, physical and healthy lifestyle activity to everyone regardless of age, sexual orientation, ability, ethnicity, nationality, or fitness level.
