  2. HISTORY • American football as we know it today originated in the late 19th century. • It was developed from two English sports: soccer and rugby. • Some colleges – namely Yale, Columbia, and Princeton – began to compete against one another in football following the soccer-based London Football Association rules in 1860. • In 1861, Harvard challenged Yale to a game played primarily using rugby rules but with modifications that started the move to a more liberal game of football.

  3. HISTORY • In 1876 the Intercollegiate Football Association was formed, and this organization developed many uniform rules of the game, including line of scrimmage, systems of downs, and the scoring system. • Touch and flag football grew out of the interest in American football. • Flag football eliminated the controversy inherent in touch football; which allowed for less contact and a clearly successful tackle. • The skill to grab or protect the flag also made flag football more interesting than touch football.
