Croí gives coaches, secretaries and PROs AI tools that understand the GAA — not generic software that has to be wrestled into shape.

📰
For PROs

Real output. Real clubs.
Ready to use tonight.

Each tool is designed around what GAA volunteers actually need — not generic AI dressed up in GAA colours.

Croí Coach

A complete session.
Six selections.

A coach selects their code, age group, player numbers, session length, focus and intensity. Croí builds a complete, GAA-specific training session instantly — structured, practical, and ready to run.

Coach selected:
Code: Hurling  ·  Age: U15–U17  ·  Players: 17–24
Duration: 60 mins  ·  Focus: First Touch & Distribution
Context: Mixed ability, some lack confidence with weak side

Croí Coach · U15–U17 Hurling · 60 mins
Session Objective
✓ Receive under pressure and move quickly
✓ Build confidence on the weak side
✓ Distribute accurately at game speed
Equipment
· 20 sliotars · 30 cones · Bibs
Pitch: Half pitch
Setup: 5 minutes
Warm-Up · 10 mins
Sliotar Tag — Protect and Flick
30x30m grid. Every player balances their sliotar on their hurley. Flick others' sliotars off without losing your own. If yours drops, pick it up and rejoin.
Watch For → Players looking only at their own ball — call "heads up, scan the grid" to get eyes moving.
Skill Activity · 18 mins
First Touch Boxes
Four 10x10m boxes, 2 players inside each, 2 feeders outside. Feeder strikes in, inside player takes first touch on hurley, moves laterally, delivers to second feeder. Rotate every 90 seconds.
Watch For → Players catching instead of taking on the hurley — remind them the hurley receives it first.
Match Play · 15 mins
Conditioned Match — First Touch Reward
Full match. A score from a controlled first touch and immediate distribution earns double points. Coach stays off the pitch. Let them problem-solve.
Croí Tip: When a touch breaks down, stay calm and specific — "good movement, let's clean up that touch" lands differently than silence. Players who feel safe making mistakes will attempt more. That's Resilience.
