Ok, we are now entering the off season training period. You have six months until April 30th, Southern Maryland Celtic festival, to get big and strong.

So, I am offering to train anyone who would like to learn how to compete in the heavy athletic events next year. During the game season we have a game almost every weekend all summer long. It's a lot of fun and a great group of guys (and girls).

Ok, the details. I am located in the Annapolis area and train both there and the eastern shore. I can hook you up with people that train just about everywhere. You need to be in decent shape, the weights are heavy. I have all of the equipment and can help you out with gym work that will help you in the sport. Our Amatures here are some of the most competitive in the world. We have many record holders in our ranks.

The weights:

Men under 40 - Open Ams

Stone 16lb - thrown like a shot put
Heavy Weight for distance 56lb
Light weight for distance 28lb
Heavy Hammer 22lb
Caber 16 - 22ft long 90 - 150 lbs
Sheaf toss 16-20lb bag - thrown for height
Heavy weight for height - 56lb

Men over 40 - Masters (But you can still compete with the Ams if you choose)
Same except that the Heavy weight is 42lb instead of 56lb and you throw the light hammer 16lb instead of the 22lb. Generally you throw a smaller caber too.

Women -
All of the weights are lighter, but I don't know the exact weights. We do have access to them on the weekends though. So if you are a girl and want to compete, let me know and we can hook you up!

So, if this sounds like something you would want to do please contact me:
