Yes, but not twice in succession. While running with the ball you can kick it to your hands, drop it towards your foot and kick it back to your hands. This is called a solo run. You can do that as many times in a row as you like. You are meant to do it at least every 4 steps taken. You can bounce the ball while running, but you must kick it to your hands again at least once, before bouncing it again. So you cannot run Basketball style bouncing (you can bounce the ball up to 10 times basketball style but you must not hold the ball between bounces, you then must take a solo before you bounce the ball again) , or you cannot run holding onto the ball, Rugby style.

There is no defined tackle in Gaelic Football. The closest thing to one is what is called a "shoulder". A player can hit a player shoulder to shoulder.

Gaelic Football is a physical sport, but there is also a lot of skill and speed required, so it isn't necessary to be rough to play it.
