American Football 101


As the name implies, American football is a sport that originated in the United States of America. It began as a cross between rugby and soccer (or soccer), and over time, the regulations of American football evolved until they are what they are today.


It is a violent and rough game, and as a result, some people who are more vulnerable are shaken; however, when we compare it to other sports, such as rugby, which, despite having several regulations on how one player can invest in the other, uses almost no protection, despite being a much more physical game in which professional players always have a lesion parchment...


HISTORY OF THE SPORT


As previously stated, this sport evolved from the adaption of rugby and football, which began in 1867 when the Harvard and McGill universities decided to play a series of three games against one other, with the Harvard team playing Boston (a football-like game) and the McGill team playing rugby. Since there were no super-regulated rules at the time, and there were always discrepancies between them from place to place, the laws of the games between the universities changed over time, and they gradually distanced themselves from rugby. In the United States, this sport has now eclipsed Baseball in terms of popularity, with the NFL Super Bowl final being one of the most anticipated events of the year.


HOW TO PLAY AMERICAN FOOTBALL


Unlike the vast majority of team sports, where the game is dynamic and both teams attack and defend at the same time, American football is no longer like that. One team will be attacking, while the other will be defending. When it shifts, the teams' alignment usually shifts as well.

Each team has four chances (or downs) to gain 10 yards. If he is unable to do so, the defensive team becomes the attacking team, and vice versa.


When a team is already in the 4a attempt, they usually punt, or kick, the ball as far out from their field as possible in order to avoid losing possession of the ball (and the attack) too close to their side.


The American football game is a very strategic sport with numerous moves that make the game more sophisticated and impressive. It is played by two teams, each having 11 players on the field.

The game is divided into four 15-minute quarters, for a total of 60 minutes, however the stopwatch is stopped in a variety of scenarios, including fouls, when the ball gets out the sideline, when one team scores, and when no one grabs the ball before it hits the ground during a pass.

The game begins with a kick off, which occurs at the start of each half and when one of the teams scores a point. It is also allowed for each team's technicians to seek a time-out, which is a brief stop for the coach to talk with his squad or to disrupt the tempo of the other team, as is done in other sports. In each half, each side is allowed three timeouts.


Score

Momentarily, there are two methods for scoring focuses. The first and which converts into more places, is the well known score, which comprises of taking the ball to the furthest limit of the rival side field, up to Endzone, which are in the last 10 yards of each end (in the event that we think about the field with 120 yards). From the second the play enters this zone with the ball the group marks 6 focuses.


From that point forward, the group that scored has two choices: either pick an additional a point, which is a kick to 12 yards to hit between the two posts of the "guide" along these lines checking 1 point, which is the most well-known since it is somewhat simple right now as it gets very close.


The group can likewise pick a transformation, which is the amazing chance to check another score, beginning from the sign of the 2 yards, and this score valeria 2 focuses.


At long last, the group can likewise attempt to kick the ball whenever trying to hit the adversaries' goal lines, and players regularly possibly do as such when they are pretty much somewhere in the range of 20 and 40 yards separated. they go in the 4ª endeavor to progress, not making a dropkick.


One ought not do this exceptionally far, first in light of the fact that the further away it turns out to be extremely challenging to get an opportunity to hit and when a field objective falls flat, the rival group recuperates the ball where the kick was made.
