Open Field Days this Spring

The Seattle Gaels aren’t just a sports club; we’re a 501(c)3 non-profit member of the Irish Heritage Club and a 40+ year pillar of the Seattle Irish community. We welcome athletes from all backgrounds (including absolute beginners!) to our home pitch near the shores of Lake Washington. We welcome men and women (18+) of all skill levels to learn to play these amazing sports.

See you at training!

Pretty much just a pair of cleats and some water!

Open Field Days can run for about 90 minutes per sport so 3 hours. Check in on the WhatsApp group or Instagram to see the schedule. Individual training sessions on weeknights usually run about 90 minutes including a 15 minute warm-up, drills, and a light scrimmage match.

Being a member of the Seattle Gaels is far less expensive than most other recreational sports. For new members we charge 50% of the returning member rate and you’re more than welcome to come out or a few sessions before committing. Dues are $75 for new members and optionally if interested in competing nationally another $75 is due to USGAA for registration and insurance.

No – as long as you’re over 18 and have played some level of sports in the past you’ll pick it up quick! Regardless of skill level, you can play Gaelic sports – and we many who have never played organized sports, to people who have played these games at the international championship level – and every level in between. Our recreational league is co-ed and provides a great outlet for anyone who wants to get a little exercise and have some fun on the weekends.

We are as much a social club as a sports club. As an adult club, we have a great number of weekend barbecues, meet-up for pints, karaoke, and the occasional pub crawl. There are other activities such as our annual Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament, Arcade Night, Hurling Golf, and much more. Because we are part of the Irish Heritage Club of Seattle, we also have opportunities to join our affiliated programs for events and activities including the Irish Network business group, Irish Reels Film Festival and more.
