Hurling Skills, Fundamental Movement Skills and Basic Motor Skills from the GAA

Hurling Skills, Fundamental Movement Skills and Basic Motor Skills from the GAA

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
There are many different skills involved in the game of hurling. These can be broadly broken down into those that involve Gaining Possession, Maintaining Possession, Releasing Possession, Contesting Possession and other skills that facilitate the playing of Hurling, called Other Skills.

(Click on the images below to learn more about each skill).

Gaining Possession

Involves gaining possession and control of the sliotar. Thus, skills such as catching, and lifting are included along with skills involved in getting control of the sliotar using the hurley.

Maintaining Possession

Once the sliotar is under the control of the player, there are a number of skills which help the player in possession to maintain possession. These skills encompass ground skills, handling skills and evasion skills.

Releasing Possession

Involves striking the sliotar, with either the hand or the hurley. Many of these skills can be performed with a stationary sliotar or a moving sliotar, while the player is stationary or while the player is moving.

Contesting Possession

Involves many of the skills used to tackle an opponent in possession, or to contest for possession when neither player is in possession of the sliotar.

The following are special skills usually associated with specific roles or set plays in the game of Hurling

Fundamental Movement Skills (ABC's)

These set of skills provide opportunities for players to perform the skills from the other categories.

Basic Motor Skills (Have a Ball)

These set of skills provide opportunities for players to perform the skills from the other categories.

It should be noted that this method of "grouping" skills is only a suggestion that may help coaches to ensure that as many skills as possible are developed, and there are a number of different ways of matching the skills together.

What Crafts Can I Make With Kids?

No one loves doing crafts more than little kids. My grandkids call it "doing projects," and I haven't found a project they weren't thrilled to try. I'm always looking for new DIY ideas and spend a lot of time searching for the best kid-friendly crafts. Here is a list of over forty projects you can use for inspiration-I hope you try them out!

1. Speckled Frogs

A cute toilet tissue tube project. The instructions for these speckled frogs is found at Mas and Pas.

2. Tulip Painting

I love this tulip idea. The little ones will discover that a plastic-fork-turned-paintbrush can be a great deal of fun. Visit Kids Play Box for the tutorial.

3. Slide-On Pencil Toppers

It's fun making things out of felt, and this pencil-topper project will keep the kids busy for a long time. Education shares the tutorial for you to try this playful craft.

4. Tyrannosaurus Rex

Ask the kids to pronounce this huge word, or just tell them it's a T. rex. Either way, they'll find it easy to understand the directions laid out by Easy Preschool Craft.

5. Silly Pencil Holders

I think these cute pencil holders are something kids will love making. Follow Somewhat Simple's instructions to make these silly containers. You could even have the kids paint the cans first for a personalized twist.

6. Easter Chick

The Craft Train has the directions to put this crumpled paper chick together. It's "cheep" to put together and a whole lot of fun!

7. Recycled Foam Tray Art

Creative Jewish Mom shows us how to make beautiful embroidery art. So simple to do and so very beautiful.

8. Heart Suncatcher

I think that besides making a craft, kids truly enjoy seeing their craft displayed. Making Merry Memories shares the steps for this delightful suncatcher that kids will love hanging on the window!

9. Milk Carton Bird House

Imagine the fun the kids will have making and hanging their personally decorated bird house. Go to Happiness is Homemade for directions.

10. Tissue Blue Birds and Nest

Go to the Crafty Morning site for the tutorial. Enjoy doing this with the kids and let them choose a color for their birds for an extra dose of creativity!

11. M-O-M Picture Frame

Moms will love this framed picture of their sweet children. Learn how to make it at Busy Bee Kids Crafts.

12. Shoebox Swings

I love the idea of using shoe boxes for this craft. I'm sure the kids will concoct fantastic stories when their paper doll play yard is complete!

13. Tissue-Paper Tree

Easy Preschool Craft provides a simple guide you can follow to make this inexpensive tree with your little ones.

14. "Paper Weave" Fish

Little kids love interacting with projects that possess moving parts. The tutorial provides step-by-step directions to make this engaging fish.

15. Paper Penguins

Just think, you and the kids have the entire winter season to make penguins! See how to make this cute little penguin at Easy Peasy and Fun.

16. Rainbow Mobile

For St. Patrick's Day, make coins like the ones shown in the picture for a festive touch. For spring, make paper raindrops and hang them from the clouds. Learn how to make this with 4 Crazy Kings.

17. Flying Fish

This is a Japanese koinobori (flying carp) project. The Japanese celebrate a boy's day by flying carp windsocks, as each fish represents a son in the household. Girls get a day of their own in March. Make these fish at Squirrelly Minds.

18. Personalized Pencils

The kids will flex their creative muscles as they make these personalized pencils that are great to use or to give as gifts. Find the instructions at DIY Candy.

19. Easy Bunnies

20. Bookworm

Imagine putting this bookworm together and writing "I Love Books" or "Bookworms Are Smart" on the back! Find out how to make this little worm at All Kids Network.

21. Magnetic Fishing Game

The little ones will be able to practice fishing with this magnetic rod. Positively Splendid shares the instructions you can follow to make this exciting game.

22. Fish Frame

Purchase clay or make your own salt clay dough to make this fish frame dreamed up by Krokotac. This lovely project can help encourage kids to use their imagination and make a one-of-a-kind gift.

23. "This Is Me" Outline

I think this is a great project for even the littlest kids. They love to draw pictures and talk about themselves, and this is an excellent tool to get the conversation started as you do the craft. Find the instructions for this project at Learn Create Love.

24. Beautiful Dragonflies

Any project that uses bright colors is a great idea you can keep in your craft arsenal. Kids will love making dragonflies using Craft 'n Home's instructions.

25. Tree Weaving

If your kids are too young to do this tree-weaving project to the fullest extent, adjust the concept and simplify it for them. Using a variety of yarn colors will make any weaving beautiful.

26. Apple Tree

This kid's craft is simple and a classic one in my book. You'll find the instructions and pictures of this craft at Preschool Crafts for Kids.

27. Winter Snowman

I think this project is a great one to reference because the snowman template can be used for other projects. Find the list of supplies and steps you need at Craft 'n' Home.

28. Paper-Cup Chick

See the steps for this cute spring or Easter project over at Housing A Forest. They also include ways to embellish your little chicks.

29. Aquarium

You can use almost any kind of cardboard box to make this aquarium, and kids will have a blast playing with it after they're done. MollyMoo shares the instructions to put this clever project together.

30. Mad Hatter

33. Cane Ornaments

34. Geometric Angel

Not only is this project sweet, it is also a lesson about shapes!

35. Bead Wreaths

Pony beads and pipe cleaners are inexpensive supplies, so it'd be a fun idea to let the kids make enough beaded-wreath ornaments to fill a Christmas tree.

36. Tic-Tac-Toe Fishing Game

This is an easy game that little kids will love to make and try! Favecrafts has the steps for you to make this tic-tac-toe game.

37. Plastic Bugs

Make bugs with plastic spoons and pipe cleaners! This DIY will keep the little ones busy for a long time, and you can find the steps at Paging Fun Mums.

38. What a Hoot

Kids will be able to use their motor skills with this owl project because it involves cutting, gluing, and using brads. Another exciting element is that the brads make the owl's wings movable!

39. DIY Package

How many times have you wished for an easy and inexpensive way to package a gift? See the tutorial at It's Always Autumn and gather the kids to make these packages in mass!

40. Reindeer Ornament

Whenever making ornaments, plan on the kids making more than just one type nor design. Crafts-For-All-Seasons tells you how to put these ornaments together.

41. Starry Night

This craft will keep little ones occupied for a while, which is perfect on a rainy day when they have to stay indoors. Use finger paints, magazine pages, scissors, and glue sticks. While waiting for paint to dry, the kids will have plenty of time to cut out shapes and paper strips for their artwork. Go to Cassie Stephens to see her method for this project, and then make any necessary adjustments for your kids.

42. Roll Bunnies

All kinds of fun activities are involved in this project. Painting and glue dots? Hooray! Ecoscrapbook has the steps for these bunnies made of toilet-paper rolls.

50+ Quick & Easy Kids Crafts

One of the #1 things that people often say to me is, "I would love to make creative projects with my kids, but I'm just not crafty. I don't even know where to start!" My reply is always, "Trust me, you do NOT need to consider yourself 'crafty' to start getting creative with your children!" There are hundreds upon hundreds of craft projects that you can make with your children that require NO special skills or tools and that take less than half an hour of your time. In fact, most of these 50+ quick and easy kids craft project ideas that I've rounded up here actually take less than FIFTEEN minutes to make!

Why Craft with Your Kids?

A recent study by Dr. Richard Rende revealed that creative interaction between parents and young children engaging in activities like arts and crafts not only provides immediate and lasting cognitive benefits but also creates a unique bonding experience, which creates lifelong memories. Taking time to be creative with your children is a topic that I am incredibly passionate about. I know firsthand the benefits that children reap when they are exposed to arts and crafts activities, and in an age where arts are in a decline in the school systems, it is even more important than ever for parents to take the initiative to introduce art activities to their children.

Other key findings of Dr. Rende's study showed that:

* Arts and crafts engage multiple brain areas simultaneously and

improve bilateral coordination between the left and right sides of

the brain, leading to immediate and future cognitive development.

* Activities like arts and crafts accelerate the development of muscles

in the hands and fingers, improving fine motor skills that are

essential for school success in the earliest formal years.

* Face-to-face interaction in the early years is critical for optimal

* Arts and crafts promote rich social interactions that help develop

language skills and social cognitive abilities like understanding

* Creative activities are a great way to bond with children and create
Nearly 90% of the parents surveyed for the study said that they would like to spend more time creating arts and crafts with their children, but they didn't know where to start or how to carve out the time needed.
With this list of quick and simple crafts, I'm hoping that I can show you that there is always an easy to bond and spend creative time together. It's SO simple!

These Recycled Tin Can Windsocks are one of my family's favorite crafts to make (we've also made a turkey version for Thanksgiving!), and they only require a recycled can, paint, glue, and ribbon!

Bird Seed Ornaments are a fun easy kids craft that your feathered friends will also enjoy!

Bring Flowers of the Rarest

May, the Month of Mary

During the month of May, we focus on the person of Mary, the Mother of Jesus.
Let us continue to pray with and to Mary that we may be attentive to the word of God.

Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent.

Let us hold each other in prayer as begin this journey together.

In November we remember...

This November we remember especially all those who have lost their lives during this pandemic all over the world.

We pray for the grieving families that they may be graced by God with the strength and courage to live with the loss of their loved ones.

May all who have died rest gently in the peace of God.
