Each player “marks’’ a player on the opposing side. There is no off side rule; a touch constitutes a tackle, and the tackled player must get rid of the ball..

In trying to get their hands on the ball, opposing play ers often leap high in the air. j| The idea is to kick the ball (similar to a rugtby football) ever goalposts at the [end of the field.
