Men's Gaelic Football
Gaelic football can be described as a blend of rugby, soccer, and volleyball. It's played on the same size field as hurling but with a hard round ball similar to volleyball. You can move the ball by carrying it up to four steps, kicking it, or striking it with your hand.
Players may not pick up the ball with their hands. The ball must be lifted off the ground with your feet. Like in hurling, players score by striking the ball into the goal for three points or hitting it over the goal for one point. Players can shoulder-check their opponent but hits from the front or behind are not allowed.

Ladies Gaelic Football
By now, you've guessed that ladies' football is about the same as Gaelic football, and you would be correct. Players use a ball like a hard volleyball to score points (above the crossbar) and goals (in the net). Like in men's football, players can carry it for a few steps but then must bounce it off the ground or their instep to carry the ball further down the pitch.
