GAA Handball is a fantastic sport for improving fitness, agility and reaction times.

Last Sunday at the Ball Wall, Joe Varley held a first Handball coaching session with some of our Juvenile Hurlers.

Handball Coaching

Joe, who is a former Youth Chairman of the Dublin Handball Board, brought the enthusiastic group of boys through the basics of the game. He emphasised how Handball can complement hurling skills while improving a player’s reaction time and hand eye co-ordination. Many of Hurling’s greats have credited Handball with improving their skills on the pitch. To help promote Handball within Faughs we will be running a juvenile Handball competition over the winter months.
