Welcome to the St. Louis Gaelic Athletic Club
← Older postsSpring 2012 hurling season
January 11, 2012The St. Louis Gaelic Athletic Club has set the dates for the spring 2012 hurling season.
The hurling league is coed; the club welcomes new players. The league has eight teams. Dues, which include jerseys, will be $75 ($90 for women who will also play camogie).
Practices start on Saturday, Feb. 25. Location and times will be announced closer to the start of practices. Wednesday evening practices will begin on March 21 and continue through the season. On March 31, the first game will be held.
The league holds a player draft the weekend before games begin, and the teams and jerseys are revealed the week of the first game. New players must attend two practices before being drafted to a team.
Games will be held each Saturday through April and May (with a break on Memorial Day weekend). The playoffs will be June 16, and the championship game will be June 23. The schedule could shift due to severe weather or other conflicts.
Players must have a helmet with full-face protection (a hockey helmet is fine). Hurleys can be purchased at practices. Cleats and shin guards are recommended.
Camogie
The dates for camogie games (camogie is women’s hurling) have also been set. This year, the women will have a two-team league for the first time.
Camogie practices will be held on Sundays starting Feb. 26 at 11 a.m. at Tilles Park. Practices will switch to Tuesdays on March 13 and will be held at 5:15 p.m. (location to be determined). Women who play camogie can also play in the hurling league.
Camogie games will be held every other Saturday at 10 a.m. during the hurling season (March 31, April 14, 28; May 12; June 9, 23).
Dues for camogie players will be $35. Women who play camogie and hurling will pay $90. Jerseys are included in the dues. Camogie players are also required to have helmets with full-face protection; cleats and shin guards are recommended.
Players interested in joining are encouraged to sign up for the club’s email lists. You can also find us on Facebook.
Anyone interested is welcome — our club is committed to teaching the game to new members as well as improving the skills of our returning players.
See you on the pitch.
