All registered players will train together once per week beginning in March, focusing on skills development, fitness, and team play in a fun, social environment.

Starting in April, teams will compete in 7-on-7 recreational matches, culminating in the crowning of the Spring Pub League Champion.

Summer & Fall Opportunities

Based on player interest and availability:
• Additional Summer and Fall recreational seasons may be offered.
• If sufficient interest and qualified players emerge from the Pub League, ESGAA may field a Junior B team to compete in the NY GAA Fall Season & Championship. Additional fees for participating may apply.
Annual registration covers participation in all applicable divisions and seasons during the 2026 calendar year.

Community Partnership

This program is proudly offered in association with the West Orange Department of Recreation, reinforcing ESGAA’s commitment to community, inclusivity, and the growth of Gaelic games in Essex County.
