Football is an American sport that
has been a part of our culture for many years and is a game that
has gotten so popular that the Super bowl is the biggest, highest
revenue earning television event of our history. The first
professional football league was created in 1903 and was called the
Ohio League, and the first football championship was played in
1919. This is just a little history of the Origin of Football, but
for one to really understand football, one needs to know how to
play the game so throughout this article I will tell you have to
play the game of football. 59fifty hats wholesale ,
Objective
Football is a game played by 2 teams of eleven.
The objective of this game is to score more points than the other
team before the time runs out. nba jerseys wholesale
, To score points a team must advance the football into the other
team's end zone. A team can advance the ball by running or passing
it, but to actually score points the team needs to pass the
opposing team's goal line (Touchdown), kick the ball through the
opposing team's goal posts (Field Goal), or tackle a ball carrier
into their own end zone (Safety). A touchdown will give you 7
points, Field Goal 3 points, and Safety 2 points. To win the game
the team must have the most points when the time runs out.
Field
The Game is played on a field that is 100 yards long.

There are end zones on each end of the field that are 10 yards
long. At the end of the end zones there are goalposts on each side
of the field. These goalposts are 10 feet high and 18 ft 6 inches
wide. Each team has 11 players on the field at a time. One team
is on offense and one is on defense. The defense players are
usually different from the offense players on a given team because
there are different skills required on offense than on defense.
Start of the Game
The start of a football game always
consists of a coin toss. During the coin toss members of both
teams will approach the middle of the field while the referee
conducts the toss. The toss will determine which team will kickoff
and what side a team will defend. The team has three options if
they win the toss.
1. Choose whether to receive or kick the
opening kickoff
2. Choose which side they would like to
defend
3. Defer and let the other team choose.
Whatever the
winning team chooses the other team gets the second choice.

chooses to receive in the first half then the other team gets to
decide which side they would like to defend.
Time Allowed
A football game consists of 4 quarters. Each quarter is 12 minutes
long. After each quarter the team will switch sides on the field.
After the second quarter of the game it is considered halftime and
the players get to rest for a 15 minute intermission until that
have to go back on the field and finish the second half. At the
start of halftime whichever team received the ball at the beginning
of the game will defend at the start of the 3rd quarter. So
because of this it is very common for teams to try and get one last
score before the start of second half because regardless of where
the ball is, it will be reset in the beginning of the 3rd.
Advancing the Ball
To score a team must advance the ball on
offense over the goal line or kick a field goal through the
uprights. The team that has possession of the ball is on offense.
They will get 4 downs to advance the ball 10 yards or the other
team gets possession of the ball. If an offense is successful and
does advance the ball 10 yards before their 4 downs are up it is
called a first down. A first down means that they get another 4
downs to gain 10 yards. They will keep doing this until they score
in the other team's end zone.
To start a down both teams will
line up on the line of scrimmage. cheap nba jerseys , The
line of scrimmage is the line on the field that the ball was last
downed at. Neither team can pass this line until the ball is
snapped. The ball is snapped by the offensive team to another
player on offense (usually the quarterback). Once the ball is
snapped the offense will try to advance the ball for a first down
while the defense will try to stop them.
When the offense
snaps the ball they have a couple of options for gaining yards.
They can pass the ball to an eligible receiver on their team, or
they can run the ball which is referred to as rushing. There are a
few restrictions for passing the ball though. For instance, when
passing the ball the team can only throw it from behind the line of
scrimmage. Also a player may only pass the ball forward. Passing
it backwards will result in a penalty.
Possession
Once an
offensive player has possession of the ball he must hold on to it
until he gets considered down. To be considered down your knee has
to be on the ground with the ball in control. Once a player is
down the play is over and it is time for the next down. oakley sunglasses

is considered a fumble. During a fumble the defensive team is
eligible to get the ball and turn the ball over on downs. The
offense can also lose possession on a pass play as well. The
defensive team can intercept the ball from a pass and turn the ball
over that way.
Punting
If offensive team does not think
they can convert a first down on 4 downs they have the opportunity
to use one of those downs to punt the ball. When punting the ball
the defense will receive the punt and run it back for as many yards
as they can until they are downed. Punting is a good way to keep
the other teams from scoring points because instead of having them
turn the ball over on the line of scrimmage you can push them back
40 yards from a punt. This gives your defense a chance to commit a
turnover.
These are the basic guidelines to play the game of
football. Over the years the game has become so intense and really
developed. There are all sorts of new penalties and hidden rules
in the NFL rule book, but I created this article for people who
want to learn the basics of football. Hopefully you readers have
found this article informational and will soon play the game of
football. .
