A footbalFootball games last for a total of 60 minutes in professional and college play and are divided into two halves of 30 minutes and four quarters of 15 minutes.[77][78] High school football games are 48 minutes in length with two halves of 24 minutes and four quarters of 12 minutes.[79] The two halves are separated by a halftime period, and the first and third quarters are also followed by a short break.[77][78][80] Prior to the start of the game, the referee and team captains for each team meet at midfield for a coin toss. The visiting team is allowed to call 'heads' or 'tails'; the winner of the toss is allowed to decide from between choosing whether to receive or kick off the ball or choosing which goal they want to defend, but they can also defer their choice until the second half. The losing team, unless the winning team decides to defer, is allowed to choose the option the winning team did not select, and receives the option to receive, kick, or select a goal to defend to begin the second half. Most teams choose to receive or defer, because choosing to kick the ball to start the game would allow the other team to choose which goal to defend.[81] Teams switch goals following the first and third quarters.[82] If a down is in progress when a quarter ends, play continues until the down is coGames last longer than their defined length due to play stoppages - the average NFL game lasts slightly over three hours.[86] Time in a football game is measured by the game clock. An operator is responsible for starting, stopping and operating the game clock based on the direction of the appropriate official.[77][87] A separate clock, the play clock, is used to determine if a delay of game infraction has been committed. If the play clock expires before the ball has been snapped or free-kicked, a delay of game foul is called on the offense. The play clock is set to 40 seconds in professional and college football and to 25 seconds in high school play or following certain administrative stoppages in the former There are two main ways that the offense can advance the ball: running and passing. In a typical play, the quarterback calls the play, and the center passes the ball backwards and under his legs to the quarterback in a process known as the snap. The quarterback then either hands the ball off to a back, throws the ball or runs with it himself. The play ends when the player with the ball is tackled or goes out of bounds, or a pass hits the ground without a player having caught it. A forward pass can only be legally attempted if the passer is behind the line of sThe offense is given a series of four plays, known as downs. If the offense advances ten or more yards in the four downs, they are awarded a new set of four downs. If they fail to advance ten yards, possession of the football is turned over to the defense. In most situations, if the offense reaches their fourth down they will punt the ball to the other team, which forces them to begin their drive from further down the field; if they are in field goal range, they might also attempt to score a field goal.[68] A group of officials, the chain crew, keeps track of both the downs and the distance measurements.[90] On television, a yellow line is electronically superimposed on the field to show the first down line to the viewing On a kickoff, the ball is placed at the 35-yard line of the kicking team in professional and college play and at the 40-yard line in high school play. The ball may be drop-kicked or place-kicked. If a place kick is chosen, the ball can be placed on the ground or on a tee, and a holder may be used in either case. On a safety kick, the kicking team kicks the ball from their own 20-yard line. They can punt, drop-kick or place-kick the ball, but a tee may not be used in professional play. Any member of the receiving team may catch or advance the ball, and the ball may be recovered by the kicking team once it has gone at least ten yards or has been touched by any member of the receiving team.The three types of scrimmage kicks are place kicks, drop kicks, and punts. Only place kicks and drop kicks can score points.[65][66][67] The place kick is the standard method used to score points,[92] because the pointy shape of the football makes it difficult to reliably drop kick.[92][93] Once the ball has been kicked from a scrimmage kick, it can be advanced by the kicking team only if it is caught or recovered behind the line of scrimmage. If it is touched or recovered by the kicking team beyond this line, it becomes dead at the spot where it was touched.[105][106][107] The kicking team is prohibited from interfering with the receiver's opportunity to catch the ball, and the receiving team has the option of signaling for a fair catch. This prohibits the defense from blocking into or tackling the receiver, but the play ends as soon as the ball is caught and the ball may not be advancedOfficials are responsible for enforcing game rules and monitoring the clock. All officials carry a whistle and wear black-and-white striped shirts and black hats except for the referee, whose hat is white. Each carries a weighted yellow flag that is thrown to the ground to signal that a foul has been called. An official who spots multiple fouls will throw his hat as a secondary signal.[111] The seven officials on the field are each tasked with a different set of responsAnother set of officials, the chain crew, are responsible for moving the chains. The chains, consisting of two large sticks with a 10 yard-long chain between them, are used to measure for a first down. The chain crew stays on the sidelines during the game, but if requested by the officials they will briefly bring the chains on to the field to measure. A typical chain crew will have at least three people - two members of the chain crew will hold either of the two sticks, while a third will hold the down marker. The down marker, a large stick with a dial on it, is flipped after each play to indicate the current down, and is typically moved to the approximate spot of the ball. The chain crew system has been used for over 100 years and is considered to be an accurate measure of distance, rarely subject to criticism fromThe National Football League (NFL) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) are the most popular football leagues in the United States.[112] The National Football League was founded in xxxx[113] and has since become the largest and most popular sport in the United States.[114] The NFL has the highest average attendance of any sporting league in the world, with an average attendance of almost 70,000 persons during the xxxx NFL Season.[115] The NFL championship game, the Super Bowl, is among the biggest events in club sports worldwide.[24] It is played between the champions of the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC), and its winner is awarded the Vince Collegiate football ranks third in overall popularity in the United States, behind baseball and pro football.[117] The NCAA, the largest collegiate organization, is divided into three Divisions: Division I, Division II and Division III.[118] Division I football is further divided into two subdivisions: the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).[119] The champions of Division I-FCS, Division II and Division III are determined through playoff systems, and the Division I-FBS champion is determined through the Bowl Championship Series (BCS). Division I-FBS will switch to a four-team playoff system High school football is the most popular sport in the United States played by boys; over 1.1 million boys participated in the sport from xxxx to xxxx according to a survey by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS). The NFHS is the largest organization for high school football, with member associations in all 50 states as well as the District of Columbia. USA Football is the governing body for youth and amateur football,[121] and Pop Warner Little Scholars is the largest organization for ySeveral football leagues have been formed as rival leagues to the NFL. The XFL was created in xxxx by Vince McMahon and lasted for only one season. Despite television contracts with NBC and UPN and high expectations, the XFL suffered from poor television ratings and a low quality of play.[123] The United Football League (UFL) has suspended its xxxx season, its fourth, due to financial issues.[124] The United States Football League (USFL) operated for three seasons from xxxx to xxxx but collapsed due to poor business decisions and monetary problems. A subsequent USD $1.5 billion antitrust lawsuit against the NFL was successful in court, but the league was awarded only three dollars in damages.[125] The World Football League (WFL) played for two seasons, in xxxx and xxxx, but faced monetary issues so severe that the league could not pay its players. In its second and final season the WFL attempted to establish a stable credit rating, but the league disbanded before its second season could be cThe most successful minor league was the American Football League (AFL), which existed from xxxx to xxxx. The AFL operated as a minor league from xxxx to xxxx and then signed a five-year, USD $36 million television deal with NBC and competed directly against the NFL. AFL teams signed NFL players to contracts, and their popularity grew to challenge that of the NFL. The two leagues merged in the xxxx season, and all AFL teams joined the NFL. An earlier minor league, the All-America Football Conference, was in play from xxxx to xxxx. Two AAFC teams, the Cleveland Browns and the San Francisco 49ers, becamThe European Football League (EFL), run by the European Federation of American Football (EFAF), is an annual invitational tournament between the champions or co-champions of competitions run by EFAF members. The league's championship game is the Eurobowl.[130] Other EFAF tournaments include the EFAF Cup, played between the top teams from national leagues in a similar manner to the UEFA Cup,[131] the Atlantic Cup, played between teams from the Atlantic region of Europe,[132] and the Challenge Cup, played between teams from newer federations that are not eligible to play in the EFL or EFAF Cup.[133] American football federations are also present in Asia, Oceania, and Pan America, and a total of 64 national football federations exist as of July xxxx.[134] The International Federation of American Football (IFAF), an international body composed of American football federations, runs tournaments such as the IFAF World Championship, which is held every four years since xxxx, the IFAF Women's World Championship, the IFAF U-19 World Championship and the Flag Football World Championship. The IFAF also organizes the annual International Bowl game.[135] At the international level, Canada, Mexico, and Japan are considered to be second-tier, while Austria, Germany, and France would rank among a third tier. All of these countries rank far below the United States, which is dominant at the international level.[134]e members of the NFL.[127]ompleted.[126]outh football.[122]in xxxxFootball is not an Olympic sport, but it was a demonstration sport at the xxxx Summer Olympics.[1] The IFAF seeks recognition from the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which would be the second-to-last step to gaining admission to the Olympic Games themselves. It would take at least a decade to be admitted.[134] Several major obstacles hinder the IFAF goal of achieving status as an Olympic sport, such as the predominant participation of men in international play, and the short three-week Olympic schedule. Large team sizes are an additional difficulty, due to the Olympics' set limit of 10,500 athletes and coaches. These issues are similar to those that rugby union faced prior to being admitted into the Olympics in the form of rugby sevens, a modified version of the sport, but football also has the issue of global visibility. Nigel Melville, the CEO of USA Rugby, noted that while rugby union has a major international presence through the International Rugby Board, "American football is recognized globally as a sport, but it's not played globally". In order to solve these concerns, major effort has been put into promoting flag football, a modified version of American football, at the international Canadian football, the predominant form of football in Canada, is closely related to American football - both sports developed from rugby, and the two sports are considered to be the chief variants of gridiron football. Although Canadian football developed independently from American football, the two games share a similar set of rules, but there are several key rule differences: in the Canadian game, the field measures 150 yards by 65 yards and has 20-yard end zones, teams have three downs instead of four, there are twelve players on each side instead of eleven, fair catches are not allowed, and a single point is scored if the offensive team kicks the ball out of the defense's end zone.[136] The Canadian Football League (CFL) is the major Canadian league and is the second-most popular sporting league in Canada, behind only the National HocA major variant of football is arena football, played by the Arena Football League (AFL).[138] Arena football has eight-player teams and uses an indoor field 50 yards in length, excluding end zones, and 28.3 yards wide. Punting is illegal, and kickoffs are attempted from the goal line. Large overhead nets deflect forward passes and kicks that hit them, and deflected kicks are live balls that may be recovered by Below the Arena Football League are what New York Times writer Mike Tanier described as the "most minor of minor leagues:" indoor football leagues. Like in arena football, teams in indoor football leagues play in arenas, but games are only attended by a small number of fans, and most players are semi-professional athletes. Indoor football leagues are unstable, with franchises regularly moving from one league to another or merging with other teams, and teams or entire leagues dissolving entirely. The Indoor Football League, Southern Indoor Football League, Ultimate Indoor Football League, Continental Indoor Football League and American Professional Football League are examples of prominent indoorFlag football is a variation of football in which players are not tackled - instead, plays end when a "flag" attached the waist of the runner is pulled off.[141] Touch football is a similar variant in which a play ends when the runner is touched.[142] A game of touch football may require that the player be touched with either one or two hands to be considered down, depending onThe History of English football is a long and detailed one, as it is not only the national sport[citation needed] but England was where the game was developed and codified. The modern global game of Football was first codified in xxxx in London. The impetus for this was to unify English public school and university football games. There is evidence for refereed, team football games being played in English schools since at least xxxx. An account of an exclusively kicking football game from Nottinghamshire-Notts County in the 15th century bears similarity to football. England can boast the earliest ever documented use of the English word "football" (xxxx) and the earliest reference to the sport in French (xxxx). England is home to the oldest football clubs in the world (dating from at least xxxx), the world's oldest competition (the FA cup founded in xxxx) and the first ever football league (xxxx). But the first ever inter league was in the 20th century. For these reasons England is considered the home of the game of football.[1] the rules used.[143] leagues.[140]either team.[139]key League.[137]level.[134].[120]Lombardi Trophy.[116] either side.[90]ibilities:[111].[108][109][110][102][103][104]audience.[91]crimmage.[68]levels of play.[83]mpleted.[83][84][85]l game is plFootball is a full-contact sport, and injuries are relatively common. Most injuries occur during training sessions, particularly ones that involve contact between players.[53] To try and prevent injuries, players are required to wear a set of equipment. At a minimum players must wear a football helmet and a set of shoulder pads, but individual leagues may require additional padding such as thigh pads and guards, knee pads, chest protectors, and mouthguards.[54][55][56] Most injuries occur in the lower extremities, particularly in the knee, but a significant number also affect the upper extremities. The most common types of injuries are strains, sprains, bruises, fractures, dislocations, and concussions.[53] Concussions are particularly concerning,[57] as repeated concussions can increase a person's risk in later life for chronic traumatic encephalopathy and mental health issues such as dementia, Parkinson's disease, and depression.[58] Concussions are often caused by helmet-to-helmet or upper-body contact between opposing players, although helmets have prevented more serious injuries such as skull fractures.[59] Various programs are aiming to reduce concussions by reducing the frequency of helmet-to-helmet hits; USA Football's "Heads Up Football" program is aiming to reduce concussions in youth football by teaching coaches and players about the signs of a concussion, the proper way to wear football equipment and ensure it fits, and proper tackling methods that avoid helmIn American football, the winner is the team that has scored the most points at the end of the game. There are multiple ways to score in a football game. The touchdown, worth six points, is the most valuable scoring play. A touchdown is scored when a live ball is advanced into, caught in, or recovered in the end zone of the opposing team.[41] The scoring team then attempts a try, more commonly known as the point(s)-after-touchdown (PAT), which is a single scoring opportunity. A PAT is attempted from the two- or three-yard line, depending on the level of play. If scored by a placekick or dropkick, it is worth one point, and is typically called the extra point.[61] If it is scored by what would normally be a touchdown, it is called the two-point conversion[61] and is worth two points. No points are awarded on a failed extra point or two-point conversion attempt.[62][63][64] In general, the extra point is almost always successful in professional play and is slightly less successful at amateur levels, while the two-point conversion is a much riskier play with a higher probabA field goal, worth three points, is scored when the ball is placekicked or dropkicked through the uprights and over the crossbars of the defense's goalposts.[65][66][67] After a PAT attempt or successful field goal the scoring team must kick the ball off to the other team.[68] A safety is worth two points and is scored by the defense. It occurs when the ball carrier is tackled in his own end zone.[41] After a safety has been scored, the team that conceded the safety must kick Football games are played on a rectangular field that measures 120 yards (109.7 meters) long and 53.33 yd (48.76 m) wide. Lines marked along the ends and sides of the field are known respectively as the end lines and side lines, and goal lines are markedHenry VI of England. Although the precise date is uncertain it certainly comes from between xxxx and xxxx. This is the first account of an exclusively "kicking game" and the first description of dribbling: "[t]he game at which they had met for common recreation is called by some the foot-ball game. It is one in which young men, in country sport, propel a huge ball not by throwing it into the air but by striking it and rolling it along the ground, and that not with their hands but with their feet ... kicking in opposite directions" The chronicler gives the earliest reference to a football field, stating that: "[t]he boundaries have been marked and the gIn xxxx comes the earliest account of football as an organised team sport. Richard Mulcaster, a student at Eton College in the early 16th century and later headmaster at other English schools provides the earliest references to teams ("sides" and "parties"), positions ("standings"), a referee ("judge over the parties") and a coach "(trayning maister)". Mulcaster's "footeball" had evolved from the disordered and violent forms of trIn xxxx the earliest reference to a game involving passing the ball comes from cornish hurling. In particular Carew tells us that: "Then must he cast the ball (named Dealing) to some one of his fellowes". In this case, however, the pass is by hand, as in rugby football. Although there are other allusions to ball passing in the 17th century literature, this is the only one which categorically states that the ball was passed to another member of the same team. There are no other explicit references to passing the ball between members of the same team until the xxxxs, however, in xxxx English puritan Richard Baxter alludes to player to player passing of the ball during a football game in his book Everlasting Rest: "like a Football in the midst of a crowd of Boys, tost about in contention from one to another".[5]aditional football:ame had started.[3] 10 yd (9.1 m) outward from each end line.

Inbound lines, or hash marks, are short parallel lines that mark off one-yard increments. Yard lines, which run the width of the field, are marked every five yards. A line one yard wide is placed at each end of the field. This line is marked at the center of the two-yard line in professional play and at the three-yard line in college play.

It was written in the French used by the English upper classes at the time. A translation reads: "[f]orasmuch as there is great noise in the city caused by hustling over large foot balls [rageries de grosses pelotes de pee] in the fields of the public from which many evils might arise which God forbid: we command and forbid on behalf of the king, on pain of imprisonment, such game to be used in the city in the future." the center of the plane of each of the two end lines.

An offensive formation is considered illegal if there are more than four players in the backfield or fewer than five players numbered 50-79 on the offensive line.[30][42][43] Players can temporarily line up in a position whose eligibility is different than their number permits as long as they immediately report the change to the referee, who then informs the defensive team of the change.[44] Neither team's players, with the exception of the snapper, are allowed to line up in or cross the neutral zone until the ball is snapped. Interior offensive linemen are not allowed to move uhe main backfield positions are the quarterback (QB), halfback/tailback (HB/TB) and fullback (FB). The quarterback is the leader of the offense. Either he or a coach calls the plays. Quarterbacks typically inform the rest of the offense of the play in the huddle before the team lines up. The quarterback lines up behind the center to take the snap and then hands the ball off, throws The primary role of the halfback, who is also known as the tailback, is to carry the ball on running plays. Halfbacks may also serve as receivers. Fullbacks tend to be larger than halfbacks and function primarily as blockeThe first references to goals come from England in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. In xxxx and xxxx respectively, John Norden and Richard Carew referred to "goals" in Cornish hurling. Carew described how goals were made: "they pitch two bushes in the ground, some eight or ten foote asunder; and directly against them, ten or twelue [twelve] score off, other twayne in like distance, which they terme their Goales".[6] He is also the first to refer to goAnglia).[7] Similarly in a poem in xxxx, Michael Drayton refers to "when the Ball to throw, And drive it to the Gole, in squadrons forth they goe". The concept of football teams is mentioned by English Poet Edmund Waller in cxxxx: He mentions a "a sort [i.e. company]of lusty shepherds try their force at football, care of victory ... They ply their feet, and still the restless ball, Toss'd to and fro, is urged by them all[8]". The last line suggests that playing as a team emerged much earlier in English football than previouFootball continued to be outlawed in English cities, for example the Manchester Lete Roll contains a resolution, dated 12 October xxxx: "That whereas there hath been heretofore great disorder in our towne of Manchester, and the inhabitants thereof greatly wronged and charged with makinge and amendinge of their glasse windows broken yearlye and spoyled by a companye of lewd and disordered psons vsing that unlawfull exercise of playinge with the ffote-ball in ye streets of ye sd toune breakinge many men's windowes and glasse at their plesures and other great enormyties.

Defensive ends line up on the ends of the line, while defensive tackles line up inside, between the defensive ends. The primary responsibilities of defensive ends and defensive tackles is to stop running plays on the inside and outside, respectively, to pressure the quarterback on passing plays, and to occupy the line so that the lineThe defensive backfield, often called the "secondary," consists of cornerbacks (CB) and safeties (S). Safeties are themselves divided into free safeties (FS) and strong safeties (SS).[46] Cornerbacks line up outside the defensive formation, typically opposite of a receiver so as to be able to cover him, while safeties line up between the cornerbacks but farther back in the secondary. Safeties are the last line of defense, and are responsible for stopping deep passing plays Three positions are specific to the field goal and PAT (point after touchdown) unit: the placekicker (K or PK), holder (H) and long snapper (LS). The long snapper's job is to snap the football toAlthough football was frequently outlawed in England, it remained popular even with the ruling classes. For example, during the reign of King James I of England James Howellmentions how Lord Willoughby and Lord Sunderland enjoyed playing football, for example:"Lord Willoughby, and he, with so many of their servants ... play'd a match at foot- ball against such a number of Countrymen, where my Lord of Sunderland being busy about the ball, got a bruise in thFootball continued to be popular throughout 17th century England. For example in xxxx Davenant is quoted (in Hones Table-Book) as remarking, "I would now make a safe retreat, but methinks Jam stopped by one of your heroic gamea called football; which I conceive (under your favor) not very conveniently civil in the streets, especially in such irregular and narrow roads as Crooked Lane. Yet it argues your courage, much like your military pastime of throwing at cocks, since you have long allowed these two valiant exercises in the streets". Similarly in xxxx Thomas Randolph suggests this in the following lines from one of his plays: "Madam, you may in time bring down his legs To the just size, now overgrown with playing Too much at foot-ball".[11]e breast[9][10] the holder, who will catch and position it for the placekicker. There is not usually a holder on kickoffs, because the ball is kicked off of a tee; however, a holder may be used in certain situations, such as if wind is preventing theFootball is a popular participatory sport among youth. One of the earliest youth football organizations was founded in Philadelphia, in xxxx, as the Junior Football Conference. Organizer Joe Tomlin started the league to provide activities and guidance for teenage boys who were vandalizing the factory he owned. The original four-team league expanded to sixteen teams in xxxx when Pop Warner, who had just been hired as the new coach of the Temple University football team, agreed to give a lecture to the boys in the league. In his honor, the league was renamed the Pop Warner Conference.[111][112] ball from remaining upright on the tee.
