Albany Rebels Fall Rec League

Albany Rebels GAA is excited to announce that we are hosting a Fall Rec League.

The Fall Rec League is primarily a coed recreational Gaelic Football league. Games will consist of two 10-minute halves (20 minutes total each game). Football teams will get 2 games per Saturday. 

New this year, we will also be introducing small-sided hurling matches alongside the Gaelic Football Rec League. If you’re interested in Hurling, please indicate that in the sign-up below!

Gaelic football, commonly referred to as football or Gaelic, is an Irish team sport. It combines the skills and properties of soccer, rugby, and basketball. It is played between two teams of 15 players (13 in the US) on a rectangular grass pitch. The objective of the sport is to score points by scoring the ball through the other team's goal (3 points) or over the crossbar between two upright posts (1 point). You can see a video example of football here. 

Hurling, commonly referred to as the fastest game on grass, is an Irish team sport. It combines the skills and properties of lacrosse, field hockey, and other field sports. It is played between two teams of 15 players (13 in the US) on a rectangular grass pitch. Players move the ball, called a sliotar, using wooden sticks called hurleys. The objective of the sport is to score points by shooting the sliotar into the other team's goal (3 points) or over the crossbar between two upright posts (1 point). You can see a video example of hurling here.
