Gaelic Football and Hurling

Gaelic football was first played in the 16th century. It is played on a field, with two teams  composed of 15 players . Gaelic football is a combination of 3 sports : soccer, rugby and basketball. But the ball is heavier and smaller than a foot ball.. The game lasts one hour ( 2 halves of 30 minutes ) . It's a violent sport , but players don't wear any protections , except gloves . In Gaelic football, you can pass the ball by kicking it, hand-passing it, or bouncing it. It isn't as violent as Hurling, but for Hurling you wear protections like head protections or a gum shield. But they have a commun point: you must practice a lot to play the two sports! We can't wait to try!

We worked on this video in class. Watch and learn how to play Gaelic football.
