There are no short term solutions to this. It begins with children, as Peter said Coaches/Parents need to be shown that it’s easy to coach hurling. There is a perception in non traditional hurling areas that they can’t because they have never played it, which is nonsense.

Do you practice sideline balls in training or do your players always go for a score or hit it as far as possible? See match scenario below for forwards and defenders. @TacticalPad audio & video on & scroll down to match scenarios

This game can be used for any age, or sport. Creating chaotic situations can help develop decision making while working on technical aspects of the game @colmnally @TGfUInfo @TGfU2020 @PhysedGames @movementcoachkm @tippgamesdev @coaching_active @MSAIreland

Conor McGregor has won won an Irish sports person of the year & Jason Smyth hasn’t. Ridiculous.

Limerick’s puck out strategy on opposition puck outs was key to their success in 2020. Coaches should be setting up match scenarios to simulate match conditions. To view a @TacticalPad scenario go to & hurling practices. Happy new year to you all. #Games

Literally every media outlet including the Limerick Leader are reporting on a Limerick GAA statement and your taking offence to a journalist reporting it because he’s from Tipp. Grow up.

Steve Hansen has said that coaches “should be focusing on the things that allow you to win”. As Hurling coaches we should prep our sessions so that players use & receive the ball under pressure. Here are some games to for your session. @StBrigidsGAA @gaaleinster @DubGAAOfficial

Any hurlers/footballers out there suffering from cabin fever, head down to your hurling wall, if allowed! Lots of movement, running and striking off the wall on your own or with a friend. #Covid_19 @tippgamesdev @BallybaconG @GAAmeCoaching @GaaSense @SocialGAACork @GAAlearning

First picture is pre planned agility, linear and not representative of the sport. The next two are examples of reactive agility using a small sided game and a match situation. @DeelySport @coachafl @c_gunny73 @GAAlearning @Helpmecoachie @BallybaconG @colmnally @coaching_active

Any hurling coaches consider banning the roll lift in sessions? I’ve used this game recently with senior Camogie & U11 boys & only jab lift was permitted.The speed of the game improved dramatically. @hurlingcubs @HurlingCoach1 @CarriganNigel @GAAmeCoaching @GAAlearning @cionnait

Another alternative to a backs & forwards session. Play starts with the full back line which encourages backs use the ball and forces forwards to work to win the ball back and score. @StBrigidsGAA @tippgamesdev @GaelicSportsRC @MSAIreland @colmnally @GAAlearning @Fingallians

A full game, 15v15. Instead of a puck out, game always starts in one of the corners with a corner back attacking from deep. For a @TacticalPad audio & animation go to @DeelySport link and go to possession games.
