Association football, Australian rules football and Gaelic football tend to use kicking to move the ball around the pitch, with handling more limited. Body tackles are less central to the game, and players are freer to move around the field (offside laws are typically less strict).[8]
Common rules among the sports include:[9]
Two teams of usually between 11 and 18 players; some variations that have fewer players (five or more per team) are also popular.A clearly defined area in which to play the game.Scoring goals or points, by moving the ball to an opposing team’s end of the field and either into a goal area, or over a line.Goals or points resulting from players putting the ball between two goalposts.The goal or line being defended by the opposing team.Players being required to move the ball—depending on the code—by kicking, carrying, or hand-passing the ball.Players using only their body to move the ball.
