The 2012 hurling season is off to a great start.  We registered 134 adults during the 3 hour registration session at Trinity two weeks ago.  A special thanks to John and Tim for their hard work on the new electronic registration system.

Since opening day of registration, we have registered another 33 adults at practices and have already met our quota of 37 rookies as well.  So what does this mean?  We are nearly at capacity for ten teams.

If you haven’t registered or know some one who is planning on registering at the last minute, there are no guarantees that there will be a spot available.  So come out to practice on Sunday and get registered.

The MHC is inviting kids between the ages of 4 and 15 to experience the excitement of “the fastest game on grass” up close and personal – and for free!

This spring, we’re offering two Saturday Youth Clinics at Uihlein Soccer Park (7101 W. Good Hope Road, Milwaukee) on April 14^th and April 28^th from 1:00 to 3:00 PM. Friendly, experienced coaches from the club’s Youth League and current youth and adult players will walk youngsters through basic skills of hurling, starting with the proper way to hold and swing the “hurley” stick and progressing into ball handling and the rules of the game. All equipment is provided, but participants should wear soccer shoes if possible.

This ancient Irish field sport shares skills with sports that American kids are already familiar with, like soccer, tennis, hockey, baseball, and lacrosse. Because of this, it makes a great supplemental or off-season training outlet. Even kids who aren’t involved in a sport have found that hurling is a different and fun way to get active and meet new friends.

Again, there’s no charge, but we do ask that interested parents email us in advance at info@hurling.net with the number of children. Feel free to email with any question as well – we’re happy to answer!

Check out the video from last year’s clinic!
