Objective: American football is played by two teams who will have eleven players on the field at any one time. The object of the game is to get the ball to the opponents end of the field, and score more points than the opposing team.\n\nTo start a game, the referee will toss a coin. The visiting captain calls. The winner of the toss can decide whether to start in offense (receive the kick) or defense (deliver the kick). When play restarts in the second half, the captain who lost the toss at the beginning of the game chooses.\n\nIf a game goes into overtime, the first team to score wins, so the captain will almost always choose to go on the offense. Teams change ends at the start of the quarter.\n\nPlaying time lasts for one hour, divided into four fifteen minute quarters. There is a fifteen minute break between the second and third quarters (each half of the game).\n\nThe clock is stopped when the ball is not in play, when a foul has been committed, or when a fair catch has been caught. The clock is also stopped for time outs. Both teams are allowed three time outs, lasting a maximum of two minutes each, in each half.\n\nBoth the clock and the game itself are stopped two minutes from the end of each half by the referee to allow the teams to plan their strategies.\n\nIf the scores are level at the end of the fourth quarter, overtime will be played. In NFL games, only one period of overtime is played, and if the scores are still level, the game is declared a draw. For championship and playoff games, periods are played until a winner is decided (the first team to score).\n\n\n\n\nMORE COMPLEX RULES\n\n\n\nKick off \nTop of page\n\nPlay starts with a kick off at the start of the second half, but when the teams turn around and change ends at the start of the first and third quarters, play is started from the same position on the field as where it finished, but in the opposite half of the field. The same team will keep possession.\n\nThe kick-off is used to restart play after all point-afters and field goals. The kick-offs are always taken from the 35-yard line, unless a penalty has been given. The team making the point after always restarts the game with a kick-off. If the kick is unsuccessful, the defense starts play from their own 25-yard line and so they become the offense.\n\n\n\nScoring \nTop of page\n\nAs with many sports, the object is to score more points than the opponents. There are several different ways of scoring in American football.\n\nThe largest single score comes from a touchdown. This is worth six points. It is scored when an offensive player runs into the opposing end zone while in possession of the ball. A receiver can also make a catch delivered into the same area. The ball does not have to be actually 'touched down' on the ground for the points to be scored.\n\nA successful touchdown is followed by a kick through the goalposts, known as the conversion, or 'point-after'. This is worth one point. For this, the ball is placed on the 2-yard line and snapped (passed backwards through the legs) to the kicker, who tries to kick it over the crossbar and between the upright posts.\n\nA player can touch the ball onto the ground in the end zone without their whole body being in the end zone, and the touchdown still counts. However, the scoring player must not be pushed or helped in any way by other players.\n\nThe next type of scoring is called the field goal. A field goal counts as three points. It is taken from 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage (the line where the last play ended, so the next play is made from there), to give the kicker more time, and some protection from the defense. Again, the ball must be kicked through the posts. The kicker is credited for the kick from whatever distance it was taken from.\n\nThe fourth and final way of scoring is called the safety. Two points are awarded to the offensive team when the defensive team are caught in possession of the ball in their own end zone.\n

Outside Linebackers.  Because the middle linebacker plays the running back or short pass option.

The field goal has to be the last points scored by the winning team.  And it also has to win the game by three points or fewer.  Thats it, simple and direct.

Foot ball is meant to be played with your feet, kicking a ball into a goal with 11 people in a team, lol. When a player from the other team is between your goalkeeper and your last man he will be seen as being offside

I went to a live game in Melbourne.  The whole package was different from an American game.  The cheap seats are on the front row midline!  In American football, those would be the most expensive seats.  They also have like 5 different unmarked lines with each line dedicated to a different customer. In America, everything is labled more than once.  There was a lot of non players/officals such as waterboys on the field.

It's a touchback. \nConversely if a field goal doesn't make it through the end zone, the Defense can return it like a kick off.

Not a ton of details in your question. But in the 7 & 8 year old Flag league where I coach. W edo not play punting or kicking. In lieu of a kickoff teams start at their 20 yard line. On 4th down a team has the option to go for it, and if they do not make a TD or first down the opposing team takes over at the spot. Or to "punt", in which case we just move the ball down to the other team's 20 yard line and turn the ball over to them.\n\nI do not know what you are refering to when you ask about rules for footwork. We do not have any specific rules referncing that particular skill

That's someone who can catch the ball in traffic and hold on to it while being hit.  Also, someone you can go to with confidence on third down when you really need a completion.

There are six people on one side, plus a goalkeeper. They are arranged three people near the goal and three people closer to the halfway point (when on offense). Of course the goal keeper tends to stay in the goal!\n\nThere can be more people on a team, just depending at which level you are playing. But only seven in at a time, and you can sub when you need to.

Illegal Substitution: It's illegal to break the huddle with 12 players. This happens from time to time if a player comes into the game without properly informing the player he's replacing. \n\nIllegal Motion: A reciver or back is allowed to be in motion prior to the snap as long as he isn't moving towards the line of scrimmage. When he is, illegal motion is called.
