10 Reasons
10 Reasons Kids Love Irish Football
- It's totally unique, but also familiar because it incorporates so many great sports like SOCCER, RUGBY, VOLLEYBALL, TEAM HANDBALL, BASKETBALL and scores of other field sports.
- Players use their hands to PASS and CATCH the ball. Everyone touches the ball—many times a game.
- Lots of scoring. Think basketball or team handball on turf.
- It’s fast. Think of the movement of soccer and basketball with the passing of lacrosse and finesse of volleyball.
- There’s a position for every kid, regardless of skills or body type.
- No fancy equipment is required. To play, all you need is a ball, some goals, a jersey, and maybe some cleats. (Hint: FPYC will supply the first three. Yes, it’s one of cheapest sports on the planet.)
- We play on real grass—mud, grass stains and all.
- The rules are easy can be learned in 5 minutes and are as simple as eating lunch.
- Everyone on the field has a part to play in scoring and glory!
- Girls play, too. And they’re awesome.
