Advertising
The Club has distributed over 5,000 flyers to local schools, churches, businesses, etc. If you would like copies for distribution to your child's school or another business or organization, please contact the Club Secretary.

Travel Players (National Competitions)
While the Club does not wish to exclude any child who wishes to play the game, travel teams are selected based on the following: ability of the club to field full teams for each competition entered, ability of player to compete in these competitions, and the cost of travel.

Travel Reimbursement
The Club has in the past been afforded the opportunity to reimburse all players for travel due to the successful fundraising efforts of its members. In order to keep with this tradition, it is important that members continue to participate in fundraising efforts. It is mandatory for travel players to participate in specified fundraisers, eg. Raffle Sales & Annual Beef n' Beer ticket sales. While the Club does not mandate participation in acquiring sponsorships for our Annual Golf Tournament, it is the most important, profitable and easily run fundraiser of the year. All support is appreciated.

Non-profit Status

The Delaware County Gaels Youth G.F.C. is a non-profit, Pennsylvania corporation. The philosophy of "no child left behind" is ours also. We welcome all children, male or female, aged 5 - 18, of all races, ethnicity, and creeds. Financial Aid - Our objective is to provide all children the opportunity to practice the skills and compete in the game of "gaelic football", to learn about the culture of our games, and to socially connect with their peers. Players who are in need of financial assistance are welcome, and members seeking assistance, should feel free to discuss your concerns with a Board member. All requests will remain strictly confidential. Our goal is to give all children the right to play gaelic football, regardless of economic status.
