Camogie is the women's league for hurling. A 15 player field sport, it follows the progression of the baseball-like ball, called a sloiter, utilizing hand passes and stick handling. The wooden or composite stick, called the hurl, is used to pick up the sloiter, pass it, and defend players. The primary difference between camogie and hurling is that women play in skorts instead of shorts. Players typically wear helmets during this medium contact sport.
