    Football 101 SCYF: Football is a full contact sport. We will help teach your child how to play the game of football. Football is a team sport. It takes 11 teammates working together to be successful. One mistake can ruin a perfect play. Because of this, we and every other football team practices fundamentals (how to do it) and running plays (what to do). A mistake learned from, is just another lesson in winning. The field • The playing field is 100 yards long. • It has stripes running across the field at five-yard intervals. • There are shorter lines, called hash marks, marking each one-yard interval. (not shown) • On each end of the playing field is an end zone (red section with diagonal lines) which extends ten yards. • The total field is 120 yards long and 160 feet wide. • Located on the very back line of each end zone is a goal post. • The spot where the end zone meets the playing field is called the goal line. • The spot where the end zone meets the out of bounds area is the end line. • The yardage from the goal line is marked at ten-yard intervals, up to the 50-yard line, which is in the center of the field. The Objective of the Game The object of the game is to outscore your opponent by advancing the football into their end zone for as many touchdowns as possible while holding them to as few as possible.

  • NFL: 2013 Official Playing Rules of the National Football League
    2013 OFFICIAL PLAYING RULES OF THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE Roger Goodell, Commissioner Preface This edition of the Official Playing Rules of the National Football League contains all current rules governing the playing of professional football that are in effect for the 2013 NFL season. Member clubs of the League may amend the rules from time to time, pursuant to the applicable voting procedures of the NFL Constitution and Bylaws. Any intra-League dispute or call for interpretation in connection with these rules will be decided by the Commissioner of the League, whose ruling will be final. Because interconference games are played throughout the preseason, regular season, and postseason in the NFL, all rules contained in this book apply uniformly to both the American and National Football Conferences. At many places in the text there are approved rulings which serve to supplement and illustrate the basic language of the rules. Each is headed by an abbreviation, followed by a number (e.g. “A.R. 3.20”). The letter “A” in an approved ruling indicates the team that puts the ball in play, and its opponents are designated by the letter “B.” Whenever a team is in possession of the ball, it is the offense, and at such time its opponent is the defense. Yard lines and players are indicated by numerals. Thus, for example: “A.R. 5.1 Third-and-10 on A30. During a run prior to an intended pass by quarterback A1, defensive player B1 holds flanker A2 on the A45…” Where the word “illegal” appears in this rule book, it is an institutional term of art pertaining strictly to actions that violate NFL playing rules.

  • Coaching Special Teams 126 Coaching Youth Football Coaching Special Teams 127
    8 Coaching Special Teams 126 Coaching Youth Football Coaching Special Teams 127 ll phases of the kicking segments of a football game are referred to as “special teams.” Just as you teach the offensive and defensive segments to Ayour team, you also will coach all phases of the kicking game. At times, players focus more on their duties on offense and defense and downplay their roles as special teams players. However, special teams are an integral part of a successful football team, and you, as the coach, must remind all players that their contribution on special teams is just as important as their contribution on offense and defense. Kicking-Game Rules The following are special rules that apply only to special teams and should be taught to players as you coach the different phases of the kick- ing game: • A player signals a fair catch by extending an arm above the head and waving it from side to side. The receiving player cannot hit or be hit after a fair catch, and the ball cannot be advanced after the catch. • The kicking team may down the football after the ball has hit the ground. • No one on either team may block below the waist. • No player on the receiving team may touch the punter or kicker unless the receiving team has blocked the kick or the kicker runs with the ball. • A field goal is a scrimmage kick and uses the same rules as the punt. • On a kickoff, after the ball has traveled 10 yards, it is a free ball and either team can gain possession of it.

    Episode 15: Not Just For Kicks: NFL Placekicker Returns for a Diploma 33 Years Later (7/4/2018) Segment Who Copy Intro Kevin I've been in some big offices with some very powerful people Butler and I've had guys sit on the other side of the desk and look at me, and the only thing they wanna know about is what it feels like to play football. And behind them somewhere is a framed diploma. And that's the one thing I never had. INTRO MUSIC Podcast Andy Welcome to Second Act Stories, a podcast that looks at people Overview Levine who have made major career changes and are pursuing more rewarding lives in a second act. So since I began this podcast back in March, I’ve always wanted to interview a professional athlete about life after their sports career. And so I was delighted to connect with Kevin Butler, an NFL veteran of 13 seasons from 1985 to 1998. In his rookie season, he was part of Chicago Bears that won Super Bowl XX. So what was life after he left the field? And what was behind his desire to return to the University of Georgia to finally get a degree that had eluded him for 33 years? I traveled to Atlanta and met with Kevin in his study surrounded by awards, photos and football memorabilia. And I sat on a couch with his dog Vinny and had an fascinating 90 minute conversation with the man. Let’s get this started with Kevin Butler’s dazzling football career at the University of Georgia.

  • Cornerback Rankings
    2011 Draft Guide – DraftAce.com Cornerback Rankings 1. Patrick Peterson LSU Ht: 6’1” Wt: 212 Pros: Elite size, speed and overall athleticism for a cornerback. Has the potential to be a true shutdown corner. Excels in man coverage. A physical cornerback that won’t back down from mixing it up with bigger receivers at the line of scrimmage. Shows good ball skills. Does a nice job turning and reacting to the ball in the air. An elite corner in zone coverage; does a great job reading the quarterback and reacting quickly. Far exceeds expectations for a cornerback in run support. Very reliable tackler, occasionally delivering a big hit. Above average return specialist; can probably return kicks/punts early in his career in NFL. Cons: Overaggressive at times. Seems to get cocky on the field at times and takes too many risks. Notes: Peterson is the best cornerback prospect to enter the draft in a very long time, and possibly the best ever. There are a very select few players at the position that possess his blend of size and speed. He excels in every aspect of the game and his success on special teams is an added bonus. He could very easily come off the board higher than any defensive back in NFL Draft history. NFL Comparison: Charles Woodson Grade: 96 – Top Three 2. Prince Amukamara Nebraska Ht: 6’0” Wt: 205 Pros: Converted running back who showed steady progress throughout his career. Impressive size and speed. Looks very fluid in man coverage. Can turn and run with any receiver.
