Bouncing the ball twice in a row (It may be soloed continuously). Changing hands: Throwing the ball from your right hand to left or vice versa (legal in the ladies' game). Going four steps without releasing, bouncing or soloing the ball (soloing involves kicking the ball into one's own hands) Hand passing a goal. To hand pass a ball with an open palm there must be a clear striking action (the ball may be punched over the bar from up in the air, but not into the goal). Picking the ball directly off the ground (it must be scooped up into the hands by the foot). However, in ladies' Gaelic football the ball may be picked up directly. Square ball is an often controversial rule: If, at the moment the ball enters the small square, there is already an attacking player inside the small rectangle, then a free out is awarded.

Throwing the ball (it may be "hand-passed" by striking with the fist).
