1.History of football
American football comes from rugby football. The first major football game was won by Rutgers University (score – 6) against Princeton University (score – 4). His war was in 1869, four years after the Civil War.
Coloring soccer boy, the main idea of soccer is still the same. Football fans still yell, “Run that ball!”, “Throw it!”, “Kick it!” and “Score man, score!”
2.Football fundamentals
Boy who colours, must get the ball to his opponent’s end zone.
Get yourself an egg-shaped leather ball filled with air to throw, catch, or kick.
Follow the rules and regulations. Don’t run “either way” with the soccer ball, man!
Only two teams can meet. Your team and the other player’s team must have eleven players on the field at the same time. The smaller soccer leagues use less than eleven players.
Teams take turns playing offense (trash talk allowed) and then defense (no crying kids allowed).
The offensive team owns the ball until it scores, or fails to gain 10 yards in four attempts, or turns the ball over to the defensive team.
The defensive team tries to prevent the offense from gaining yards or scoring. The defense also tries to steal the ball.
3. Organized football structure
Do you love taking people down, boy? It’s screaming in a big guy’s face your dream
come true? Is your idea of fun crashing a little man into planet Earth?
Well, Coloring football kid, tackle football is for you…
NO! Boy coloring football, without scratching or spitting! “Gouging out the eyes and kicking?” NO! “Strangled and whipped with pistols?!” NO! Don’t be greedy, boy…
Here is a little detailed information to help understand the structure of organized football:
Teams can change their players as long as there are 11 guys on the field.
Scrimmage is the action once the ball is thrown (quickly given) to the quarterback by his center until the ball is dead.
Line of Scrimmage is an invisible field line where teams face each other. Now take this…
Both teams can have three specialized teams where players have one or more roles.
Here are some roles…
-
I. The Specialty Offensive Team must score or gain yards to win. The quarterback leader receives the ball from his center, his second brain. The quarterback throws the ball to a receiver, or hands it to a running back, or runs the ball himself (guts!). The Offense Line is five Mack trucks. They protect the jump, block and leave marks on the back of defense players. Running backs have roles in running the ball, catching, blocking and wreaking havoc for the yards. Wide receivers catch zoom balls from the quarterback. These guys have “superhero” speed and they also block too. Tight ends have two roles. They can act as wide receivers or as offensive linemen who protect quarterbacks and block running backs.
II. The Specialized Defense Team must prevent opponents from scoring or gaining yards. The Defense Line has 3-6 “massive giants” that block the sun and create darkness and pain along the line of attack. Linemen (“monster trucks”) go over the runners. They crash test “catch” the quarterback before he passes or hands off the ball. Linebackers cause nightmares. They hide behind defensive linemen and also attack the quarterback or cover receivers. Defensive backs with superhero speed coverage receivers and stop zoom passes plus speedy quarterbacks!
third The Specialized Special Team must add extra points. Got a weird leg and foot, kid? Become a punter or place kicker to get those extra game saver points. Long snappers also need precise skills.
