National Code — is played on a
large oval, up to 200 yatds across.
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..
But the ball can’t be thrown
• i under the rules. Thi player
punches or kicks it towards a
teammate. 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.
The game develops players who
can kick with exceptional accu-
racy.
