Football 101 - The Basics of Football
Begin the game
- Before each game, the captains from each team and the referee meet at the center of the field for the coin toss.
- The winner of the coin toss has the option of starting the game by kicking the ball to the other team or receiving the kickoff from the other team.
- The game begins when one of the teams kicks off to the other.
- The receiving team must catch the ball and try to advance it as far back toward the kicking team as possible.
- The play ends when the player with the ball is knocked to the ground (tackled), or makes it all the way to the kicking team's endzone (touchdown).
- The spot where the kick returner was tackled becomes the line of scrimmage. The line of scrimmage is a term for the place the ball is spotted before a play is run.
- Once this starting point is established, the offensive squad of the receiving team will come in and try to move the ball toward the opposition's end zone.
