Getting Started

As Gaelic football is played on grass, football boots are a good idea but not essential.

Cost

All members must purchase a Team Hallam membership of £85, which is your membership for the whole year. This is paid at any of the Reception desks at the two Sport Hallam facilities. There is no additional cost to join this club. Once paid, please remember to register via the Sports Union Home Page to make your payment valid!

Trips

Once a year the men’s team take part in both a Gaelic Football and Hurling competition, both of which are held in Birmingham. The trip is a lot of fun, but is taken seriously within the club. It involves two nights away and a social event at the end to celebrate.

Training

TBC – Please contact E-Mail the club
