10 or more players, aged 8 and up, played indoors and outdoors.

Hurley is an old game which can be tracked back to ancient Rome, and has been played throughout Great Britain for hundreds of years. However, Hurley is practically popular in Ireland, and it is believed to be the ancient ancestor to modern football.

Players form two equal teams, each taking one half of a gymnasium or a large field. One team begins with a medium sized ball (eg: football), with the object of moving the ball over the opposing teams End, which is simply the rear boundary of that teams half.

The defending team may tag an approachable player, whereupon that player must stop and immediately pass the ball, or give the ball up. The ball may be passed or run with, but it may not be kicked and no rough play should be allowed. Essentially the same game may be played indoors, but with a goal, into which the ball may be thrown, and defended by a goalie. No goalie is required for the outdoors version.
