American Football is a highly competitive team sport with complex strategy
Here are some basic laws of American football:
1. Teams and Court: A team of 11 players is on the court at one time. The two teams play in their half of the field, and the goal is to get the ball into the scoring area (the area consisting of the goal and the hollow area).
2. The basics: The main goal is to score by putting the ball in the scoring area or installing it on the ground behind the goal line. Scoring can be achieved through a lingering game or by scoring goals after catching the ball in the scoring area.
3. Delivery (Snap): Each attack begins with delivering the ball by placing it between the legs of the catcher and handing it over to the Snape player, who then launches it.
4. Downs: The game is divided into courses. Each turn begins with a ball snap and continues until play is stopped (usually when a player with the ball is caught or streaked to the ground).
5. Advance and Attempts: The offensive team must move the ball forward through a series of attempts (or advances). The offensive team is entitled to four attempts to advance the ball within ten yards. If the offensive team can advance the ball ten yards or more on four attempts, it reserves four more attempts to advance a new distance.
6. Scoring: Scoring can be achieved by putting the ball into the goal or installing it behind the goal line. Scoring gives the team points and a chance to take an extra point kick or field goal if it succeeds.
7. Defense and Attack: Teams aim to stop the opposing team’s progress and scoring by blocking progress, throwing the ball to defensive players, and blocking offensive players.
8. Time: The game consists of four periods (or two quarters), each period lasting 15 minutes in professional matches. An opportunity is given for extra time if the score is tied at the end of main time.
This is just an overview of some of the basic laws of American football. The game has many rules and strategies that give it its own character and make it an exciting and complex sport.
