Hurling and Camogie Rookie Day 4 has finally arrived.
We told you you’d be match ready in no time. Guess what, ‘no time’ is here!
We open with a small bit of instruction on some final defensive play and instruction then walk through our pre-game routine.
We’ll split teams and go after it – two halves, halftime talk and adjustment, the whole experience. Everyone is invited to hang out afterwards, have brunch, whatever comes up.
Hurling and Camogie Rookie Day 3 is here!
We’re getting into the really good stuff now. You’ll be match ready in no time!
This week’s session is part defensive play, part strike improvement, and a lot of ball control and precision thrown in for good measure. It’s okay if you missed a session (or 2), we’ll catch you up. Just grab some water and cleats (if you have them) and come on out. Everything else will be provided.
Here comes Tacoma Hounds’ Hurling and Camogie Rookie Day number 2!
Last week we went over general introductory knowledge and rules as well as a few basic skills. A bit of ground hurling, how to perform the roll-lift and strike from the hand. We also discussed the GAA and several conversational topics about our organization.
This week we tackle more advanced ground striking, more lifts, the handpass, and defensive play. It’s okay if you missed last week, we’ll catch you up. Just grab some water and cleats (if you have them) and come on out. Everything else will be provided.
Tacoma Hounds’ Hurling and Camogie Rookie Days will, over the course of four weeks, teach the fundamentals of the national sport of Ireland—the fastest game on grass—hurling! These events are completely free and all equipment will be provided. Athletic wear and soccer cleats are recommended.
Each week will introduce a new aspect of the game and will build on the previous session. To participate it is not required to attend each session, but it will make for a better experience.
