If many players are struggling for the ball and no side is able to capitalize or gain control of it the referee may choose to throw the ball in between two opposing players. This is also known as a "throw in". To deliberately throw the ball up and catch it again (the ball must touch a hurley or other body part) Hurling leagues are categorised by age in youth level, and by skill in adult level. Players can compete at club level and inter-county level. What we don't know is have those players reached the top because they were cross-dominant, or did they become cross-dominant because they were playing hurling? That would be a really, really interesting study.” That’s from a total of 30 suppliers who made expressions of interest to become licensed GAA sliotar suppliers.

A hurling match at Senior level is made up of two 35 minute halves, lasting for a total of 70 minutes. When selecting a hurley, choosing the correct size is very important as a hurley that is the incorrect length can be difficult to swing correctly. A correctly sized hurley should be just touching the ground when gripped at the top and held parallel to the player's leg with their arms relaxed. [8] [9] [10] [11] Traditionally it was recommended that the toe of the hurley should reach the player's hip when the heel of the hurley is placed on the ground and held parallel to the player's leg. This has proved inaccurate and unsuitable since two players of the same height can have a difference of 4 inches or 10 centimetres in hip height. [12] As a gift [ edit ] King, Seamus J. (1998).

Compared to hurling, camogie uses a size 4 sliotar, which is slightly smaller than size 5 sliotar used in hurling. In addition, a camogie player can’t deliberately shoulder their opponent. Club and county GAA teams have put a lot of effort and no little expense into improving their level by focusing on gains in the areas of strength and conditioning and skill-specific training. In speech, a score consisting of at least one goal and one point is read as simply the two numbers, so Tipperary's 2–13 is read "two thirteen"; the words "goals" and "points" invariably omitted. Goals are never "converted" into points; it is incorrect to describe a score of 2–13 as "nineteen". 2–0 would be referred to as "two goals", never "two zero". Likewise, 0–10 would be referred to as "ten points", never "zero ten". 0–0 is said "no score". So the Clare/Tipperary match score would be read as "Clare twenty points, Tipperary two thirteen". This time varies worldwide. For example, North American rules can differ by the type of tournament.
