Gaelic Games Gaelic football is played by men or women in teams of fifteen or thirteen players with a maximum of 5 substitutions permitted during a 60 or 70 minute game. The ball may be carried for up to four paces and then bounced or released to the toe, kicked, or struck with the open hand or fist, in any direction. When played by men, it may not be picked directly from the ground. Scoring is through "H" style goalposts with one point awarded for a score over the crossbar, and a goal worth three points awarded for a score under the crossbar. Physical contact is allowed, shoulder to shoulder, but no direct body tackling is permitted. There is one Men's Football team here in Atlanta and about 45 - 55 Men's Football clubs affiliated to the NACB. The rules for Women's Football differ only slightly from Men's Football. No deliberate physical contact is permitted in Women's Football and the ball may be picked directly off the ground. Most other rules are the same as in the Men's game. There are two Woman's Football teams here in Atlanta and about 20 - 30 Women's Football clubs affiliated to the NACB. Hurling is an ancient Irish game played with stick and ball and is one of the fastest field games in the world. Men play in teams of fifteen or thirteen on fields about twice the size of an American Football field. The ball may be struck with the hurling stick (or caman), kicked, or struck with the open hand, but may only be lifted directly from the ground using the caman. The caman may be used to dispossess players when they release the ball from the hand. Scoring and most other rules are as in Gaelic Football. There is one Men's Hurling team here in Atlanta and about 15 - 25 Hurling clubs affiliated to the NACB. Camogie is an Irish field game similar to hurling but played by women, and is one of the fastest field games in the world for women. The basic rules of the game are the same as for Hurling. There are no Woman's teams here in Atlanta but there are about 6 - 12 Camogie clubs affiliated to the NACB in 2002. Handball is played by two individuals or two pairs using their hands to strike a ball against a forecourt wall. It can be played by women or men on courts of one, three or four walls. Rounders is a game with many similarities to Baseball.
