Hurling training plans, built for your goal
As one of the fastest field sports anywhere, hurling asks players to sprint repeatedly at pace while controlling a fast-moving sliotar in the air and on the ground with a hurley, a combination that punishes anyone who trains skill and running fitness separately. SportBlox builds your hurling training plan around your goal, current level and position.
Who it's for
Aerobic running base
High-volume running conditioning to cover the huge ground a hurling match demands from start to finish.
First-touch & aerial skill
Hurley striking, catching and ground-strike drills to sharpen first touch under pressure.
Explosive match speed
Repeated-sprint and change-of-direction training for breaking away from a marker at pace.
A week of hurling training
Example: a midfielder building aerobic running capacity pre-season. Your own plan is built around your event, level and schedule.
How SportBlox personalises it
Your goal & event date
Sessions build toward the specific goal and date you set, with a taper if you're racing or competing.
Your skill level
Volume and intensity scale to where you actually are, from Inexperienced to Professional.
Your stated weaknesses
Tell SportBlox about things like first touch under pressure, aerial catching, aerobic endurance late in games, striking off the weaker side and the plan weights sessions toward fixing them.
Your schedule
The plan fits the days and time you say you have — not an idealised training week.
Hurling training plan FAQ
How many sessions per week does it schedule?
Typically 4-5 sessions, balancing hurley skill work with the running conditioning and strength the game demands.
Do I need a pitch or can I train alone?
Wall-ball striking and running conditioning can be done alone; ask for full-pitch drills when club training is available.
Is this suitable for beginners to the sport?
Yes, set skill level to Inexperienced and the plan builds hurley control and running fitness gradually.
Will it work around my club's training schedule?
Tell it your existing training nights and matches and supplementary work is scheduled around them.
Why does it emphasise running so heavily?
Hurling's pace and pitch size demand an aerobic base most other field sports don't need, so running conditioning is built in year-round, not just pre-season.
