[Function Over Form @TrainLikeGame]

Free play might be the most underrated developer in sports. No coaches. No drills. No structure. Just kids figuring it out themselves — inventing rules, solving problems, competing, failing, and adapting in real time. That chaos builds creativity, resilience, decision-making, and a deep love for the game that structured practice often kills.

[Barry Mullane @BarryMullane1]

Object control/manipulative skills are categories of FMS. Combine/link them to hurling

•Free play, striking lots of balls is fun
•Fun games for skill development (2v2-4v4)
•Keep the kids on task, not in a line.

Jab/Roll lift technique game

Scoop the ball over the net/tape. If the opposition player catches it, they get a point, if the ball hits the ground, the lifter gets the point.
