Football is a game of contact. Many players get hurt every year. But don't worry about getting hurt. Now let's get to the basics of football. Equipment is the most important part because if you don't have it you can't play. Here's what you need. Shoulder pads. A helmet. If you want to rib pads. Cleats. Knee pads. Thy pads. And special football pants to put your knee pads and your thy pads in. Next you need to know the way the game works so this is the points chart. 7 points is a touchdown. 3 points is a field goal. 2 points is a safety. And 1 point is a P.A.T which point after touchdown or extra point. Now to play football you need to know how to throw a football and to tackle and last but not least is to hold a football. You also need to know how the field works. There is 100 yards on each field, there is also two field goal post and lines on the field to tell if your in bound or out and to mark the yards. It goes G,10,20,30,40,50,40,30,20,10,G on the field to mark the field. You also need places for fans to sit your game so you need to have bleachers so you have a audience. There are two ways to mark which level of play you are on: weight and age. Where i live they mark by both ether you move up by weight like I'm the hundred pound team but I'm only 94 ponds and I'm ten and a second year player so that's pretty much how they mark what team your on. So that's all i have to say so plx follow and and comment and if u follow me i will follow you. I also have another thing to say PLAY FOR THE RIDLEY RAIDERS AND PLAY FOOTBALL PERIOD
