Definition of American Football

American Football

As its name suggests, American football originates from an American country, the United States. It is a sport that emerged in the late nineteenth century as a variant of British rugby, which in turn is a different version of football

Basic rules

Two teams of 11 players each face each other on a 100-yard court divided into 10 equal parts and for four 15-minute periods. The main objective of the game is for each team to take the oval ball to the other end of the field to score a goal, a touchdown. Each team has four opportunities or downs to advance 10 yards, which are marked on the field of play.

if 10 yards or more is advanced, there are four other opportunities to move the ball forward, which can be done in several ways (running with the ball in hand or passing the ball forward to another player).At the same time, the opposing team uses 4-2-5 defense to prevent the ball from advancing.In this way, the members of each team try to advance their position while the rivals try to prevent it.

Strategic games, in which to anticipate the opponent’s plays

In the event that after 3 attempts they have failed to advance 10 yards, they will most likely kick the ball away from the end zone. If they manage to advance with the ball towards the opposite extreme zone, a touchdown will be scored, which is worth 6 points or 7 points if they kick the ball and it crosses the posts of the rival goal. Another option is to kick a field goal on the fourth opportunity, as long as the team is near the posts and has failed to advance 10 yards on the previous three opportunities (in this case the goal is worth 3 points).

American football terminology

As for the players, there are the attackers (known as quarterback), the receivers are the wide receivers, the fastest is the running back and the center is the one that puts the ball in play.
