Tread Hurling - a New Sport
The new sport of Tread Hurling was created by LaMorris Hawkins of East Texas in 2024. By combining elements of football, CrossFit, MMA, Strength training and soccer, the objective is to hurl a tire into the opposing team's end zone to score points.
Equipment Required: Hip girdle, knee pads mouth guards, rugby style padded scruff cap, padded lineman gloves.
Tread Hurling has 3 offensive players on the field at any given time, against 6 defenders. The offense consists of Hurler, Spotter, and Navigator.
The defense consists of 6 linebackers. The offense only gets 4 hurls to get the tire into the opposing team's endzone. The 5th hurl option serves as a punt
The Hurler has to hurl the ball in a German suplex style towards the defense (Hurler's back is always turned)
Navigator tells the Hurler where to hurl the tire, as their job is to face the defense and assess where the weakest point is.
The Spotter is on the line of scrimmage and is always running to where the tire stops to reset it.
The linebackers on defense can stop the tires by any means, tackling, punching, kneeling, and kicking the tire to a stop and blocking is all allowed, as their goal is to keep the tire out of the end zone.
Offense is only allowed 4 hurls, they have a 5th hurl option, but that's only to hurl the ball to the offense to keep them from gaining good field position.
