Our training season runs from March to August. There is typically 2 team practices a week, one during the week (Wednesday) at Liberty Station in Point Loma and one on the weekend.
Our training includes skill work, team drills, fitness and mini games and scrimmage. We are able to tailor our trainings to all skill levels. Beginners will get broken out in similar groups to learn the basics while higher level experienced hurlers will be given more intense training and drills to keep the touch sharp.
We currently train one Junior A team and are constantly adding to our roster to grow the club and have our sights set on multiple teams in the coming years.
Tournaments in 2026:
***All current members and prospective recruits are expected to obtain medical clearance from their personal physician BEFORE engaging in club activities.***
Our 2026 season will start in early April and run through August when we lift the cup in Boston. Anyone is welcome at training to start and we are able to provide the following:
Players will eventually be required to purchase their own equipment (only after they’ve fallen in love with the sport).
The club provides equipment and training for anyone interested in learning the sport of hurling (bringing your own cleats/spikes is encourage).
New recruits are eligible for exhibition match play immediately as long as they/management team feel comfortable they are ready. Matches are chosen based on current skill level of team and often tailored towards Junior players to get game experience at a lower level.
Each training session will have beginner level skill work in tandem with full team activities/drills.
J1 students are welcome and encouraged to join us at St. Peter’s Hurling Club. We have a long list of J1 alumni (check out our Testimonials page) that have competed with us at West Coast Sevens, Nationals and everywhere else in between. To those students committing to competitive hurling with us we do our best to help offset costs of travel to and from tournaments as well as lodging (during tournament play only!)*.
Anyone visiting for the summer that is unable to commit to our tournament in August (14-16) is very welcome to join us for training sessions, social events, golf fundraisers, etc. We are here to help you stay in shape, keep the touch sharp before returning to your championships back home.
*In order to join us at USGAA Finals you would need to submit a Transfer (by April 1st) OR Sanction (July 1st). Most common would be a sanction that lasts 60 days and allows you to play in Ireland after the 60 days is up. Our sanction roster spots are limited so please let us know ASAP if you are interested.
The Irish Outreach Center run a summer orientation program for summer J1’s where they provide advice on jobs, accommodation, and all other elements to having a successful summer in San Diego.
Any additional questions on housing or employment please reach out to us via Instagram – we are happy to share success stories of what other J1’s have done in the past.
