What Size Hurley?
So what size hurley for me or my child?
A question that we get asked a lot by parents when buying a hurley is what size hurley should I choose. The following image by the Camogie Association will certainly help.
A few things to remember:
- Get your child to stand relaxed with their hand by their sides
- The distance from the ground to their wrists is the correct hurley size
- The child should be able to hold the hurley at the top and the hurley should be just touching the ground
- Always go too small rather than too big, if a child is between sizes you should go for the smaller size
Based on our experience with the average height of a player the following are sizes that you should be looking at (these are only approximate and come in handy when buying a hurley as a present and are not sure of the players size)

18 inch hurley | 1-2 Years Old |
20 inch hurley | 2-3 Years Old |
22 inch hurley | 3-4 Years Old |
