The 2023 Pub League Draft has now been set for Monday, March 6th, at 7pm at Upland Brewing in SoBro.
In order to ensure you’re name will be entered into the draft we ask you to register for the season no later than February 27th!
Also be on the lookout for more announcements regarding team captains and sponsors!
As we continue to have more people test positive for COVID (as recently as this morning) we’ve decided to postpone the picnic until July 31st.
Games will continue as scheduled and normal forfeiture rules will apply. We recommend that everyone take a test before heading out to the field this weekend and anyone who doesn’t feel well, regardless of test your results, stay home.
If you have questions please contact board@indygaa.com
The Indy GAA Draft party has become a tradition over the past 10+ years, but sometimes it’s easy for us old-timers to assume everyone knows what these types of events are, but in reality there are many folks newer to the club, or those who have yet to join us that may be interested in knowing a little bit about it. With that I figured it was worth providing a brief overview for the uninitiated.
The actual draft takes place in a sequestered location. The captains for each team convene to choose their teams using a variety of strategies and methodologies to ensure they translate the perfect team on paper to the championship team on the field.
With that said, we don’t think of this event being held solely for draft, after all, we do call it a party!
This event is really intended to build excitement around the upcoming season and get members both old and new reacquainted and re-energized after a winter away from the pitch. All other members outside of the draft room have a chance to relax, mingle, and pontificate as to what the teams will look like for the upcoming year.
After the teams have been selected the captains emerge to announce their picks and so ensues the strategizing and game-planning for the season to come.
If that sounds up your alley we hope you’ll join us for the 2022 Draft Party coming up on Sunday, February 20th at 4pm at Centerpoint Brewing.
All are welcome to attend, even if you’re not registered to play, so we encourage you to bring friends and family. If you intend to play and would like to be entered into the draft please make sure you register no later than February 16th!
Also, please take a second to check out the photos below as the links to some of the photo albums I was able to pull up from years past. Over the years the event has been held at a number of different places, including the Blarney Stone Pub, Santorini’s Greek Kitchen, Flat 12 Bierworks, the Hard Rock Cafe, Triton Brewing, and as of the last few years Centerpoint Brewing. Flipping though these photos was a definitely a nice little walk down memory lane, and I hope they are for you as well.

Skyline and Guinness put on a thrilling display but in the end Skyline eked out a one point victory in the last seconds of the match, Centerpoint and Dugan & Voland duked it out in a close one, and Hope Plumbing is still searching for a win.
The club had a group of lads travel to Boston this past weekend to compete in the USGAA Nationals, and while a good match was had the team fell to Milwaukee in the first round. Next year nationals will be held right in our backyard up in Chicago.
