YOUNG EMMETS
WHAT IS THE YOUNG EMMETS?
The Young Emmets is a free program for kids and families looking for a unique sporting and cultural experience. Kids ages 5-14 can discover the exciting, ancient game of hurling while developing athletic skills, practicing teamwork, and having a great time.*
Follow the Twin Cities Young Emmets (TCYE) Calendar
Currently, our Young Emmets program is entirely free! While registration is not required, we encourage any interested families to contact mnyouthgaa@gmail.com if planning to attend, so that we can be prepared with the right size equipment for participants.

*Kids ages 15 - 17 are eligible to participate in our adult training sessions and City League with signed approval of a parent or legal guardian. Kids in this age range who have not been through the Young Emmets program may be required to demonstrate a minimum level of skill and athleticism in order to ensure their ability to play safely.
When is it?
Young Emmets sessions occur throughout the season. Ways to follow along:
- Follow the Twin Cities Young Emmets calendar
- Reach out to mnyouthgaa@gmail.com
- Subscribe to the TCRE newsletter for updates
Where is it?
Sessions typically take place at the Eagan Community Center Fields, which are located just off the far west side of the parking lot (look for the rugby goalposts). Sessions at other locations will be shared when relevant.
What do I need to bring?
Participants should wear comfortable, athletic clothing appropriate for the weather and running shoes or cleats. Kids who have a hockey or lacrosse helmet may wear it in lieu of a hurling helmet (provided). All other equipment will be supplied.
What will my child be doing?
Kids will learn basic hurling or Gaelic football skills from our experienced coaches, play games that help develop movement and coordination, and practice what they have learned with simple scrimmages.
Is Young Emmets co-ed?
Yes! Our Young Emmets program is gender-inclusive. Skills learned will be transferrable to both hurling and camogie, so youth who are interested in continuing with the game will be well prepared for either track.
