The TUS Athlone Campus played host recently to the 2025 Gaelic Games Performance Analysis Community of Practice Day.

Co-organised by Athlone native and TUS lecturer Ashley Cahill, the event brought together analysts, coaches, researchers, and technology providers for what proved to be a landmark event in the ongoing evolution of Irish sports science in gaelic games.

Former Westmeath senior footballer and TUS Athlone Games Development Administrator, Kieran Martin also participated in the day's programme of events, the Maryland clubman engaging in a panel discussion on the impact of the new gaelic football rules.

Several international analysis technology exhibitors who were present at the event commented on how cutting-edge and remarkable the GAA's community of practice has become, positioning Irish Gaelic games analysis at the forefront of global sports science innovation.
