We’re excited to share hurling with you and hope you want to train with us, or just be part of the St. Joseph’s community at games or the pub. Here’s a few ways to get involved or just to check it out – no commitment needed:

• Sign up for a learn-to-play “taster”
  • Get a “taste” of hurling by joining us at a park and learn the basic skills.
  • We will start with the basics of how to hold a hurley, and gradually work your way up to striking the ball on the run and winning possession.
  • Bring your own cleats, we will provide the rest.
• Visit one of our trainings
  • We run twice-weekly weekly trainings
  • Just let us know that you’re coming so that we can make sure we have the extra gear that you’ll need
    
• Watch a game
  • We play our competition matches currently at Páirc na nGael on Treasure Island.
  • Parking is free, admission is usually $5 for a morning of games.

Whether you have prior atheltic experience or not, hurling is a novel challenge that builds speed, power, conditioning, strength, and awareness. In the heat of a match, there’s really nothing quite like the desperate thrill of a mad dash through clashing hurls in a reactive, creative, vibrant flow. Outside of the match, simply pucking it around between friends is a fun challenge and a great way to stay fit and mobile for your whole body. And there’s really nothing quite like being on a team, especially in such a challenging and dynamic sport as hurling.

Give it a go with St. Joe’s!
