Step 1: The Object of the Game

In the game of American football, two teams compete to score points by moving a ball into their opponent's end zone. This can be accomplished bye either passing the ball from one player outside the end zone to another who's inside, running the ball from the playing field into the end zone, or sometimes kicking the ball through an end zone's goal posts. 1. 2. 3. 4. Each team has 11 players on the field. Smaller teams or leisure players may compete with eight or fewer participants. The team with the ball at any given time is called the offense. The other team, which tries to stop the offensive advance and defend its end zone, is called the defense.http://football.about.com/cs/football101/a/bl_football101.htm

Step 2: Basics; The field:

Yards are measured from each respective end zone's goal line, beginning with 1, until yard markers meet in the middle at the 50 yard line.http://www.nfl.com/rulebook/field 2. Though all yards are measured with "hash marks" or white lines on the sidelines, plus a line extending across the width of the field every five yards. Only every 10th yard line (10, 20, 30, etc.) is labeled with a numeral. NAMA : CAHYANI P.H NO :9 CLASS :X8
