New York Minor Board

The New York Minor Board (NYMB), a voluntary organization was established in 1970 with the mission statement:

Through the spirit and tradition of Gaelic Games, the New York Minor Board (NYMB) is dedicated to fostering cultural connections, enhancing athletic skills, and building community.

We are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment where our young players can develop and shape the future of our cherished games in the Greater New York Area.

Since our inception, we have witnessed a dramatic increase in participation, growing from a modest group of enthusiastic children to a robust membership of thousands. Our young members, aged between 5 to 20, now have the opportunity to compete not only in local leagues but also in American continental competitions and the annual Continental Youth Championships (CYC). The CYC is hosted in different cities including Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, and San Francisco, broadening the scope of competition across the nation.

We also take pride in our cultural division, Scór na nÓg, which orchestrates artistic competitions on a club versus club basis, akin to the structure of our games. These events feature music, singing, dance, and both drama and comedic sketches performed on stage. This not only serves as a quality source of entertainment but also provides a wonderful platform for young individuals to express themselves and showcase their talents.

We truly expect and anticipate that the proposed improvements to the Redmond Park  field outlined below and within this proposal shall mutually benefit all the residents of Yonkers as well as the NYMB, who will use these facilities to maintain and expand our sports and cultural programs. The redevelopment shall also allow the NYMB to expand its programs by encouraging and soliciting participation from children in the local    areas surrounding the complex and indeed all across the city.  This is a fundamental part of the NYMB’s ethos.
