Today football is a very popular sport! Football was invented in the eighteen hundreds by a man named Walter B. Camp.

Here are some of the rules: The object of the game is to get as many touchdowns as possible in four downs or four plays. You can get a first down by going ten yards, but if you don’t get a first down or a touchdown then it’s a turnover

If you get a touchdown it’s worth six points then you kick a field goal and that is worth one point. But if you don’t get a touchdown and make a field goal it’s worth three points. If you tackle someone in their end zone it’s called a safety and that is worth two points.

There is something called a penalty it’s like breaking a rule in football. Here are some penalties: a face mask, holding, off sides, and pass interference.

Here are some of the positions: safety, lineman, running back, quarterback, tight end, linebacker, and wide receiver. Each position has a different job.

Every year there is a Super Bowl for the NFL, and the Rose Bowl for college.

That is pretty much all you need to know about football!
