What is Gaelic Football?

Gaelic football is a field game and is part of an organisation called the GAA which was founded on November 1st, 1884.  Galeic Football is played on a pitch which can be up to 145m long and 90m wide. The goalposts have a crossbar and two uprights (like rugby goalposts but the crossbar is lower around the same size as a soccer goalpost).  There are two teams which consist of 15 players and they line out like this:
The ball used is a round O'Neills slightly smaller than a soccer ball but heavier at the same time.  The ball is carried in the hands and you are only permitted to carry it for four steps before you either hop the ball, solo the ball (drop the ball onto your foot and kick it back into your hands), kick the ball (either off your hands or on the ground but off the hands is what is used almost all the time), hand pass the ball ( a striking motion with the hand or fist) and you cannot throw the ball.  You cannot bounce or hop the ball twice in a row but you can solo as many times in a row as you want.  To score a point you have to put the ball over the bar with a handpass or using your foot.  To score a goal which is worth 3 points you have to use your foot or fist the ball while it is in the air into the net past the goalkeeper.  To pick up the ball you must put your toe under the ball and grab it (you don't have to do this if it is bouncing), however this rule does not apply in ladies football and they are left pick the ball up directly.  If the ball goes out over the sideline it results in a sideline kick.  If the ball goes out over the endline after it was last touched the attacking team last it results in a kick out ( a kick on the ground off a cone or kicking tee by the keeper from the 13 metre line) or if the ball was last touched by the defending team it will result in a "45" which is a free from the defenders 45 metre line which has to be kicked off the ground (without a cone or tee) and it is taken perpendicular to where the ball went out over the line.  If a foul is comitted a free kick will result which can be taken from the ground (without a cone or tee) or from the hands without the opponent impeding, if the player argues with the referee, impedes the player taking the free,kicks or throws the ball away, or does not give the ball back the referee can then bring the free 13m forward.  To disposses a player in Gaelic football you can block his kick with your hands (not your legs),  slap the ball out of his  hands, jostling the opponent, or intercepting a pass.  It is illegal howeverto trip, punch, push, pull, hold, drag or rugby tackle another player.  A game of Gaelic football lasts 70 minutes ( each half is 35 minutes).  The team with the highest score at the end of the match wins.  There is one referee two linesmen, and four umpires (two at each goals) who decide whether the ball goes over the bar, if it is a goal, if it is wide or if it is a 45.  Gaelic football is part of an organisation called the GAA which has a number of sports and they are : Gaelic football, hurling, rounders, camogie and handball but hurling and gaelic football are the main sports.  It is an amateur association and is recogniosed and celebrated as one of the world's greatest amateur associations.  The players are volunteers and most coaches throughout the country are also volunteers.
