Alright, buckle up buttercup. In Gaelic football, you can carry, bounce, kick, or hand-pass the ball. The aim is to score by kicking or punching the ball into the opponent's goal or over the crossbar. Oh, and don't forget to tackle like your life depends on it. That's the name of the game, darling.

There is no specific legal tackle in Gaelic Football, unlike some other field games. A player can be hit shoulder to shoulder, which is the closest there is to a tackle. It is called "a shoulder" in the game. You cannot pull down a player or shoulder them from the front or behind, or push or trip them. Most of what you have to do is prevent them from playing the ball or rob them of possession, or intercept a pass or block a kick.

Gaelic football is a mixture of football, Rugby and Basketball and is played with a round ball which can be carried for four steps at a time and which can be either kicked or struck with the hand. The ball cannot be bounced twice in a row. The goal is a lower version of a rugby goal. Each team has 15 players.
