Spot on Sports was founded on the principle of making it easy for kids to enjoy playing Gaelic Football.

Barry Anderson

I am very passionate about coaching and in particular giving every child the best chance possible to participate and progress in sport. I have coached at all levels within my club from senior men right down to nursery. I have also worked in a coach observer role with the LGFA.

As a club coach, a club/school link coach and parent to 3 young boys I was looking for a more efficient and fun way to introduce kids to the basic skills of Gaelic football. The Spot on ball does just that. It allows ,for the first time, parents coaches and teachers teach the basic skills of our national sport in a way children learn.

Our Spot on footballs are now in use in over 100 GAA clubs and  we also offer the service of  structuring player pathway and coaching pathway plans in clubs.

The All NEW Gaelic Football For Beginners

The Spot on Football is designed as a first touch football that can be used for every game and drill currently used by coaches. The ball has unique markings which allows coaches to teach kicking & handpassing technique in an easy to understand way for beginners.

Where the ball fits in with current practice

The ABC/ Have a ball nursery programme which is currently best practice is a fantastic introduction for beginners in the sport of Gaelic football. The use of the spot on ball perfectly complements this programme and aids in getting kids better prepared to enter games based coaching . The spot on ball provides a perfect lead in to further developing the punt kick and handpassing technique and crucially engages kids on their level. Exactly what every parent and coach wants!

At SpotOn Sports we have always known it was true but now it is actually official!

The SpotOn Football helps coaches teach and children learn.

A study was set up by SpotOn Sports in association with University College Cork to determine the efficacy of this unique football aimed at coaching young children in the basic skills of Gaelic football.

The study, carried out over a 10-week period and produced findings that  – 100% of the children found the ball fun and engaging to use. It was warmly received by all the children who saw the football as a helpful visual aid for learning. Almost all of the children, 95%, showed an increase in perceived competence after using the ball over the 10-week period.
