been found that, in minor football, many coaches or managers are “Dads and Moms” who just want to help out because they have a son or daughter in a minor football program and have a basic knowledge of football but are unfamiliar with football “jargon”. As well, many parents who are fans cheering on their kids from the sidelines are not quite sure what is going on during a game because they have never really watched football before. They may not understand such things as holes on the offense, gaps on the defense or even what the various positions are named. This handbook is our attempt to assist coaches, managers, fans and parents in understanding football terminology using easy to understand language. We hope that this handbook is of use to you in developing a greater understanding of how the great game of football is played. OFFENSE The offensive unit takes the

The Montana rush defense will get a real test in containing quickness and speed.of the ' Mustangs. nWe must contain the running of Joe Acosta and quarterback Gary Abata," Swarthout said. "Our boys are going out there and prove they are a much better team than the Bozeman showing," the UM mentor said. "We can see the end now and we want it to be just as we planned it, Swarthout said.

  • Collecting Lombardi's Dominating Packers
    Collecting Lombardi’s Dominating Packers BY DAVID LEE ince Lombardi called Lambeau Field his “pride and joy.” Specifically, the ground itself—the grass and the dirt. V He loved that field because it was his. He controlled everything that happened there. It was the home where Lombardi built one of the greatest sports dynasties of all-time. Fittingly, Lambeau Field was the setting for the 1967 NFL Champion- ship, famously dubbed “The Ice Bowl” before the game even started. Tem- peratures plummeting to 12 degrees below zero blasted Lombardi’s field. Despite his best efforts using an elaborate underground heating system to keep it from freezing, the field provided the perfect rock-hard setting to cap Green Bay’s decade of dominance—a franchise that bullied the NFL for nine seasons. The messy game came down to a goal line play of inches with 16 seconds left, the Packers trailing the Cowboys 17-14. Running backs were slipping on the ice, and time was running out. So, quarterback Bart Starr called his last timeout, and ran to the sideline to tell Lombardi he wanted to run it in himself. It was a risky all-in gamble on third down. “Well then run it, and let’s get the hell out of here,” Starr said Lom- bardi told him. The famous lunge into the endzone gave the Packers their third-straight NFL title (their fifth in the decade) and a second-straight trip to the Super Bowl to face the AFL’s best. It was the end of Lombardi’s historic run as Green Bay’s coach.

That’s not the case. It could have been me. It could have been anybody on this team. None of us are doing a good enough job to make plays and help us win. As disappointed as you are for Kyle, you’re kind of excited for [QB Tim] Tebow because he’s getting a chance. We’re just hoping that translates into wins. “At the end of the day we’re 1-4 and that’s the reason why we’re not cheering. We’re 1-4 and we haven’t been playing good football. So there is no reason for this locker room to be excited at the end of the day. We have a long way to go to get ourselves close to being competitive and we’re not there. That’s the reason the locker room is kind of subdued. And again, the headline is probably Kyle and it could’ve been any of us, but the fact of the matter is that it’s Tim Tebow and he has such an aura about him and a following that’s such a big story.” On quarterback being the most important position on the team “It is but the guys around him can help him play better whether it’s the guys on his side of the ball or the guys on the defensive side of the ball.

  • Middle School Football Expectations and Restrictions
    MIDDLE SCHOOL FOOTBALL EXPECTATIONS Every “A” team should have between 22-25 players suited out, unless the numbers in the program are less than 50-55. No player should be slated to start both ways on any team, unless again the program has a number problem. There might be critical times that you call a player to play both ways, but it should not be a majority of the game. NO player should be asked to play “iron man football” at this level. Remember that your primary goal is to have as many players as possible reach the next level with as much skill development as possible. Playing in the game is a big part of any player’s development and enjoyment. Winning should be important, it should be the goal of the practices and the games. Performing under pressure, rebounding from failure, and working as part of a team/family for a goal are great lessons to be learned when winning is the goal. Winning at all cost is not an acceptable practice. Winning while doing the right things for the players and the overall program should bring you a more satisfaction than playing your top 5 players both ways for the entire game just to win the game. The players will judge you. What will the players say about their experience twenty years from now? The true value of youth sports is the opportunity to teach the kinds of Character lessons that are learned from striving on the field - lessons that bear ultimate fruit years later in a person’s profession, values, citizenship responsibilities, and family life.

  • American Football
    COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 American Football American Football popularly known as the Rugby Football or Gridiron originated in United States resembling a union of Rugby and soccer; played in between two teams with each team of eleven players. American football gained fame as the people wanted to detach themselves from the English influence. The father of this sport Walter Camp altered the shape and size of the ball to an oval-shaped ball called ovoid ball and drawn up some unique set of rules. Objective American Football is played on a four sided ground with goalposts at each end. The two opposing teams are named as the Offense and the Defense, The offensive team with control of the ovoid ball, tries to go ahead down the field by running and passing the ball, while the defensive team without control of the ball, targets to stop the offensive team’s advance and tries to take control of the ball for themselves. The main objective of the sport is scoring maximum number of goals by moving forward with the ball into the opposite team's end line for a touchdown or kicking the ball through the challenger's goalposts which is counted as a goal and the team gets points for the goal. The team with the most points at the end of a game wins.
