The Perfect Introduction to Hurling and Camogie
Start their GAA journey with confidence using our First Touch Sliotar. Specifically engineered for the youngest players, this ball represents the very first step in the official Go Games range. It is meticulously crafted to be significantly larger and much softer than a standard match ball, prioritizing the safety, comfort, and confidence of children as they pick up a hurl for the first time.
The extra-large circumference makes the ball easier to track in the air, strike with accuracy, and catch securely, ensuring early success and enjoyment during those crucial initial training sessions. Its gentle, soft-touch construction dramatically reduces the fear of impact, allowing little ones to focus entirely on mastering the fundamental skills of grip, swing, and coordination without any hesitation. Whether it is being used for organised club blitzes, school coaching, or just fun practice in the garden, this sliotar is the key tool for developing a lifelong passion for our national games.
Features:
- Official Go Games "First Touch" specification
- Extra soft composition ensures maximum safety
- Oversized design helps improve coordination
- Durable enough for regular training use
Equip your young players with the right equipment to succeed. Safe, fun, and perfectly designed for skill development!
Q1: What age group is the First Touch Sliotar designed for?A: The First Touch Sliotar is the initial stage in the GAA Go Games development pathway. It is specifically tailored for children in the Under 6 to Under 8 age brackets. It serves as the foundational ball for young boys and girls beginning their journey in Hurling and Camogie, ensuring the equipment matches their physical development and skill level.
Q2: How does this differ from a standard match sliotar?A: This ball is distinctively different from a standard match sliotar in both size and hardness. It is constructed to be considerably softer to absorb impact, making it much safer for beginners. Additionally, it is physically larger than standard balls. This combination eliminates the fear of stinging hands or impact injuries, allowing children to practice catching and striking with total confidence.
Q3: Is this suitable for outdoor matches and training?A: Absolutely. While it is softer, it is durable and designed for use in all weather conditions on the pitch. It is the regulation ball for Go Games blitzes at this age level. The materials used are robust enough to withstand regular striking and ground play while maintaining the soft characteristics essential for U8 safety.
