About
Hurling & Camogie: The Original Extreme Sports! Hurling [men] and Camogie [women] are fast, fun and challenging sports that are relatively unknown in America. The sports are played on a large field. There is a soccer style goal with field goal posts rising from the sides. Scoring is 3 pts. for a shot into the net and 1 pt. for shots above the net and between the posts. Players learn to use a uniquely shaped stick to hit right and left handed in the air and off the ground, run while balancing the ball on the stick, slap pass the ball to teammates and kick the ball. The best players are exceptionally coordinated and have excellent field awareness. They have backgrounds in soccer, lacrosse, baseball, hockey, rugby, handball, field hockey and tennis. Despite their intimidating appearance, the required use of safety gear has made them safer than many American sports. For fitness, overall athletic development, fun and uniqueness, Hurling and Camogie are the sports of choice!
