We are a group of lads and lasses from all over the globe who meet together weekly to indulge in a bit of recreation known as “Gaelic Football”.
What is Gaelic Football?
It’s a combination of soccer and rugby, but with no tackling.
It takes stamina, so it will get you in shape, and we have enough people that we sub often until you get into shape.
You can read a bit more about the sport at the Gaelic Football Wikipedia page and even see Gaelic Footbal in action
on YouTube.

Nope, about 80% of our players have never played before.
To play scrimmages, no, but you will get there. When you come out to play with us, we take a lot of breaks and sub in and out until your stamina gets to be where it should be.
OF COURSE!!!
Womens football is very popular. There are many womens teams around the US. You can play with the boys. We will have the women guard each other, and there won’t be any hitting involved.
Not much, just cleats, and those aren’t really a necessity to play.
Dues are $50 for the 2009 season.
No, just once a week, Tuesday evenings, and hopefully you can join us for the Irish Fair in August. But if you can join us for the other tournaments, including a road trip to Kansas City in June, and the Nationals in Boston in August, that would be awesome!
The defense is only slightly more rough than basketball. The rules state that you can “harass” the ball carrier, but you can’t tackle, or hit. Usually only shoulder to shoulder bumps, and very rarely does someone even fall over.
We play every Tuesday from 6-8pm and have practices on Thursday nights.
See the Directions page for location and directions.
