HURLETICS
Built from Purpose. Driven by Power.
HURLETICS was founded in 2023 by Shunn Spademan and LaMorris Hawkins, inspired by the story of a gifted collegiate football player who lost his mobility due to a brain tumor. His strength and resilience led to a bold question: Can we create a sport as intense and competitive as football — but smarter, safer, and more inclusive?
That question sparked the creation of Tread Hurling — a revolutionary new sport where every movement builds power, every rule protects athletes, and every game redefines what it means to compete.
The First True Hybrid Sport
Tread Hurling blends the explosive energy of football, the stamina of track, the strategy of basketball, the intensity of wrestling, and the physical demands of CrossFit. Instead of a ball, players use a 27–30 lb Hurling Wheel which they must roll, hurl, and drive across the field into the end zone — while defenders use skill and strength to stop the wheel’s advance.
What sets Tread Hurling apart is its co-ed foundation — teams are made up of both men and women competing side by side, with a separate women’s league also supported. This inclusive design isn’t just progressive — it’s essential for encouraging partnerships between the sexes and encouraging participation for women in a world where most sports only have separate leagues.

2026 Invitational Showdown
The countdown begins. The 2026 Tread Hurling Invitational Tournament brings together six of the most elite teams in the nation for a high-stakes battle of strength, strategy, and unstoppable grit. From explosive drives to clutch 5th Hurls, every second of gameplay will test who truly deserves the title of national champion. This is more than a tournament — it’s a proving ground for the future of hybrid sport.
Athletes, coaches, sponsors, and fans will all converge for a weekend of action-packed matches, scouting opportunities, and unforgettable moments. With championship honors and sponsorship deals on the line, the Invitational sets the standard for what it means to be a Hurlete. Are you ready to witness history in motion?
