How To Play Football

   Football is a pretty simple sport to play. Durning playing time each team needs to have 11 players on the field. The team with the ball is the offense. The team trying to stop the offense from moving the ball or scoring is the defense. The offense has four play to gain ten yards. If the offense doesnt gain ten yards by then it is a turnovers on down. Unless they decide to punt the ball on 4th down or kick a field goal if there in range.

   In football there is 3 different ways in scoring. You can score a touchdown which the ball has to go past the goaline in the direction your going. a touchdown eqauls 6 points. after a touchdown you have to kick a field goal or go for a two point conversion. You can kick a field goal which equals 3 points. finally you can get a safety which equals two points.

   A game consist of 15 minute quaters. There is four quaters in a whole game. After 2 quaters there is a halftime which is about 12 minutes for the teams to take a break and commuicate. If the game is tied after the 4th quater then the teams go to a overtime which is 15 mintues. The first team to score wins. But if either team scores it ends in a tie. well thats pretty much the basics you need to know on how to play. If there is any questions comment and i will answer ur question.

  1. Wow I never knew about football in such great detail. I never knew about the first down. Or how you can get six points from a Touchdown. I just have one question though. Is true that 11 men from each team are on the field at the same time???
