Gaelic Football can be summarised as a blend of soccer, rugby and basketball. In essence the sport is a fast paced field game requiring skill, speed, intelligence, stamina, strength and passion. It is a sport that is open to anybody, no matter what your skill set is. The ball used in Gaelic Football, is similar in size to a soccer ball, but is a lot heavier and harder. The game is played on a field, with goal posts very similar in shape to rugby posts. The difference in the posts is that the cross bar is lower, and we play with a goalkeeper, similar to soccer.
