Interested in learning the fast-paced sport of hurling and participating in the vibrant Irish cultural community of the Twin Cities? Join the Emmets!
Young Emmets ♦ Adult League ♦ Women's Camogie ♦ How to Join
Youth ages 6 - 14 who are interested in hurling can participate in TCRE's Young Emmets program. Dedicated TCRE members teach the basics of hurling through weekly practices and matches, and kids learn the value of teamwork and rewards of accomplishment. Through generous donations and sponsorships, the Young Emmets program is FREE for all participants. Find out more information about the Young Emmets and how you can sign up your child at our Young Emmets page.
Men and women ages 15 and over are welcome to take part in our Adult League. Players of all levels, beginning to experienced, are eligible to attend training sessions, play in our co-ed summer and fall City Leagues, and go to tournaments around the country. Top players will be selected for our Travelling Team to represent TCRE at the annual NACB National Tournament over Labor Day weekend.
Women in the Adult League are automatically drafted to the TCRE camogie team. Camogie, the women's version of hurling, is growing on the national hurling scene, and TCRE wants you to be a part of it! Although women and men train and compete together in our local City League, TCRE often sends camogie representatives to regional and national tournaments.
New players are welcome at any training session (see our calendar for details). For the greatest impact, we encourage anyone who is interested in hurling to come out as early in the season as possible. If you have any questions or would like to talk to us about playing hurling, e-mail infotcre@gmail.com, sign up for our mailing list (check "interested in playing" on the sign-up form), or. . .

Members of the TCRE Training Committee will be on hand with a special program specifically designed for players who are new to hurling. Training will focus on the building blocks of the sport and give interested players a taste of what it's like to be a hurler. All equipment--hurleys (hurling stick), sliotars (ball), and helmets--will be provided.
