What is Gaelic football ?

Gaelic Football has its origins in Ireland and is best described as a combination of soccer , basketball and rugby. The game is played on a rectangular grass pitch with H-shaped goals at each end. We use a round ball slightly smaller then a soccer ball. The primary object is to score by kicking or striking the ball with the hand and getting it through the goals – the lower goal as in soccer and between the posts as in rugby. Players advance the ball up the field with a combination of carrying, soloing (dropping and then toe-kicking the ball upward into the hands), kicking, and hand-passing to their team-mates.
