Learn how to in and outs of camogie (kuh - mow - gee) with these quick and easy tips.
Camogie is an Irish sport played by women. If you've heard of hurling, then it is pretty similar to that in which the players (or a hurler) use a stick and a ball to play the game.
Below are some basic facts that will help get you by on your first camogie match!
Tip #1 - A player is called a hurler and a sliotar is used for the ball in hurling
The lineup has one goalkeeper, six defensive hurlers, two mid-field hurlers, and six offensive hurlers, totaling to 15 players per team.
A team can use 5 substitute hurlers allowed per game. Should there be an extra time for a tie, 3 maximum hurlers can be substituted.
Tip #2 - Match scores explained

A goal is worth three points and it is when the hurler hits the sliotar below the crossbar and into the net.

Tip #3 - A match game made simplified.
The referee starts the game with a throw-in between four players back to back.
The hurlers can move the sliotar down the field via hand-pass and solo runs.
The opposing hurler's attempt to block the shot with the hurley is possible as to not swing to the other team.
