FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  1. Why do I have to register twice?
    Because as a GAA player in the USA, insurance is covered by the USGAA and equipment, fields and other costs of running practice at and administering the club are covered by Atlanta GAA. 
  2. What does the registration fees cover?
    The USGAA fee covers player’s insurance and the Atlanta GAA fee covers the cost of running practice such as fields and common equipment (balls, nets, field rental, etc.) and general administration. 
  3. What are my deadlines?
    If you are an inter county transfer, USGAA deadline is March 31. For current club players, it is April 30. For new players, August 1. Club fees need to be paid by April 30, unless you are a new player who starts later in the year, in which case you must pay it after the first few practices trying the sport.
  4. What if I am a new player?
    If it is your 1st-3rd practice, you do not need to pay registration but you must sign the liability waiver before your first practice. Afterwards, you must register with both the USGAA and the club. 
  5. Should I register if I only want to participate in the coed leagues?
    In order to participate in the coed leagues, you must also register with the USGAA, in order to receive players’ insurance. This will be done once annually only. If you are not attending club practice, you don’t need to pay Atlanta GAA dues or register with the club.
  6. Why do I have to pay for registration if I have to pay for the coed league as well?
    The cost of the coed league is for common equipment, field rentals and shirts.
