  2. How football started • Football started at a Rugby boy's school in England in 1823. Princeton University students played a game called Ballown. In both games players used both their feet and hands to advance the ball. Organized football began in high schools in the early 1860's. Colleges also started in the late 1860's. They played with 25 players on each team. Rutgers and Princeton played a game called football but they played it more like soccer than football

  3. Walter Camp Walter Camp was born April 17, 1859, in New Haven, Connecticut. He went to Yale from 1876 to 1882. American football was started in 1879 with rules instituted by Walter Camp, player and coach at Yale University. Walter Camp edited every American Football rulebook until his death in 1925.

  5. What Walter Camp did to football • Walter Camp contributed the following changes from Rugby and Soccer to American football: • one side retained undisputed possession of the ball, until that side gives up the ball as a result of its own violations • the line of scrimmage • 11 on a team instead of 15 • created the quarter-back and center positions • forward pass • standardized the scoring system, numerical scoring • created the safety, interference, penalties, and the neutral zone • tackling as low as the knee was permitted in 1888 • a touchdown increased in value to six points and field goals went down to three points in 1912

  6. History of football • In the late 19th and 20th centuries, game play developments by collage coaches, Eddie Cochems, Alonzo Stagg,Knute Rockne, and Glenn “Pop” Warner, help take advantage of the new forward passing. • The popularity of college football grew as it became the dominant version of the sport in the United States for the first half of the twentieth century. Bowl games attracted a national audience for college teams. Encouraged by fierce rivalries, college football still holds widespread appeal in the USA.

  7. How you make points • Out side of America football is known as gridiron or tackle footballbut in America it is known as just football. The objective of the game is to score points by advancing the ball into the opposing team's end zone. The ball can be advanced by carrying it. Known as a running play. by throwing it to a teammate. It is known as a passing play. Points can be scored in different of ways, including carrying the ball over the other team’s goal line catching a pass thrown over that goal line kicking the ball through the goal posts at the other team’s end zone, or tackling an other team’s ball carrier within his end zone. The winner is the team with the most points when the time expires

  8. What do you do in football? • It is a game about gaining yards as much as it is about scoring points. When two teams go onto a football field, both are battling for every inch it can take from the other. Each team wants to defend the field that is behind it and invade the field in front of it. They want to gain enough ground to score a touchdown or field goal.

It is wrapped around a weight, such as sand or beans (or occasionally ball bearings. Officials most of the time carry a second flag in case there are multiple fouls on a play. Officials who run out of flags when they see multiple fouls on a play may drop their hat or a bean bag instead • Bean bag used to mark various spots that are not fouls like spot of a fumble or where a player caught a punt. It is most of the time colored white, blue, or orange. • Down indicatora specially designed wristband that is used to remind officials of the current down • Game data card and pencilofficials write down important information like winner of the pregame coin toss, team timeouts, and fouls called. Game data cards can be disposable paper or reusable plastic. A pencil with a special bullet-shaped cap is often carried. The cap prevents the official from being stabbed by the pencil while it is in his pocket
