Kilmacud Crokes Healthy Club is the hub for health and wellbeing of all members of our club and local community. As each year passes, the role of Healthy Club continues to grow to meet the needs of both. Throughout the year, we reach out to our whole community and invite them to join us in activities such as Kickstart Crokes, Crokes Talks and Inclusive Family Fitness Days, Friday Sports Clubs and Sensory Friendly Santa.
In early 2018, under the direction of Kevin Mulligan, Kilmacud Crokes GAA Club were amongst the first to receive official GAA Healthy Club national recognition. We can now proudly fly the Healthy Club Flag above Pairc de Burca in Stillorgan letting players, members, families and the wider community know of the emphasis that the Club places on health and wellbeing.
