Freestyle Hurling Competion
21 August 2013
Dear GAA Player,
At the beginning of this month we launched a new joint GAA/GPA initiative -Freestyle Hurling. The aim is to help promote the game of hurling across the world using modern media to showcase the skills of the game.
Freestyle Hurling is the art of expressing yourself with a Hurley and sliotar while performing skills and trick shots using any part of the body. The challenge is simple: pick up your hurley and show the world what you can do by posting your very own ‘Freestyle Hurling’ videos online. More information on how to enter the competition can be found at www.gaa.ie/freestylehurling
There are two main videos on the Official GAA YouTube channel to explain the concept in more detail. Freestyle Hurling videos have been viewed 100,000 times.

We have already received entries from around the country and one of the entries has been viewed over 25,000 times online.
The three finalists of the competition as judged by a panel will have the unique opportunity to appear at half time at the All-Ireland Hurling Final day on September 8 and the overall winner will secure a place on the All-Stars trip to China later in the year.
The competition closes on August 31.
Thank you
