CELTIC STRENGTH CULTURE
Unity
"No Strength, Without Unity."
We are a community focused organization that fosters and promotes Celtic strength, culture, and its traditional athletics. We bridge that gap of old to new, where people connect and share heartfelt memories.
Integrity
Celtic Sports are for everyone. Our vision is to build an integrated, accessible, inclusive, safe, and adaptable model of athletics provisions that inspire people from all walks of life to enjoy and participate in Celtic athletics and traditions.
Pillars
Our pillars are: heritage, community, and growth. We believe true strength is bringing people together so we all rise together. We strive to positively impact the sport, culture, and community using active and creative ways of staying healthy.
CELTIC SPORTS
The Celtic year was structured around seasonal festivals - e.g. Samhain, Imbolc, Bealtaine, and Lughnasadh - which gave people a reason to celebrate the different weather cycles of growth, harvest, and rebirth into another year. At these festivals were all kinds of heritage traditions and customs. Among them were the Celtic sports. These included:
​
- Feats of Strength: Stonelifting, Heavy Weight or Object Lifting, Weight Throwing, Tug-of-War
- Sports: Hurling / Shinty / Bando / Cammag, Gaelic Football, Gaelic Handball / Pêl-Llaw, Rounders / Welsh Baseball, Cnapan
- Wrestling: Backhold, Collar and Elbow, Cornish, Devonshire, Manx, Gouren
- Martial Arts: Bataireacht / La Canne, (Stickfighting), Fencing, Scottish Staff / Le Bâton, Dornálaíocht (Bare-Knuckle Boxing), Speachóireacht (Kicking Arts)
One goal of ours to help people remember a life in balance of the seasons, with themselves healthfully in it.
