Gaelic is played with a round leather football made of 18 stitched leather panels, it is similar to the volleyball but it is a bit bigger. It has a circumference of 69-74 cm (27-29 inches). It usually weighs about 370-425 grams when it is dry’s but when wet it can vary from 380- 435. Most balls are made by an Irish company O Neills. Their shops are located throughout the country. The ball can be kicked or hand or hand passed over the bar. It’s against the rules to hand pass a goal. A hand pass is not a punch but rather a strike of the ball with the side of the closed fist, using the knuckle of the thumb.
