What is Gaelic Football?

Gaelic Football is a combination of several sports including soccer,
basketball, American football, and even volleyball.
Just as in soccer, the players attempt to move the ball
(similar to a soccer ball) down the field by carrying, dribbling or soloing.
Passing is critical, and the players can hand-pass (fist)
or kick pass (punt style) the ball to their teammates.
Players can score by kicking the ball in the net,
past a goalie for 3 points, or over the bar, between the uprights
for 1 point. Shoulder to shoulder contact
between players going for the ball is allowed.
