I don't see why not. It is not a dumb question.

You can arrange your bodyweight excercises to hit strength, speed, balance, coordination and stamina - and make variations on them to hit different areas.

You can do calisthenics to build stamina and base strength. These are your typical excercises like pullups, pushups, handstand pushups, lunge squats.

You can do plyometrics to work on your general conditioning and explosive power. These are your stadium hops, jackknives, burpees, jumping jacks, wheelbarrows, firemans carry.

Its low tech, but effective.
