First Touch Sliotar – The Perfect Start in Hurling
Every great hurler started somewhere. The First Touch Sliotar is designed to give young players the best possible introduction to Gaelic Games — a ball that’s safe, fun, and built for learning.
Larger and softer than a standard sliotar, the First Touch is crafted from premium leather and engineered specifically for younger kids taking their first steps in hurling. The softer touch isn’t just about comfort — it’s a safety feature that gives parents and coaches peace of mind while young players develop their early skills with confidence.
