The 2024 season is upon us and we are actively recruiting for new players. Never heard of Gaelic football? No stress! We are an amateur team, comprised of American and Irish players, aged 20-50+, most of whom did not start playing until their 20s.

All you need is athletic wear, tennis shoes or cleats (encouraged), water and lots of enthusiasm. Returning players and coaches will be there to teach you the basic skills.

Reach out with any questions you may have. Otherwise, we look forward to meeting you on Saturday March 23 and/or Saturday March 30!!
