Football by: Brooklyn Howard

Football is a sport. Football is two teams of eleven players each compete to get the ball into the other team's goal (between the posts and under the bar), thereby scoring a goal. Football is one of my favorite sports even though I need some more practice. Football is the most watched and most played sport on earth. During every game, Football players run an average of 9.65 km. Football is important because participating in football provides many health benefits for children. Football is also important because it's a physically demanding game that provides an opportunity for players to improve their speed, agility, strength, hand-eye coordination and overall cardiovascular endurance. The timing when playing football is three time-outs per half for each team, 12 min half-time, Four 15 min quarters. The purpose of American football is to move the ball towards the opposition's end zone and ultimately into their end zone (a touchdown). This is achieved by either running with the ball until tackled, or throwing the ball down field to a team mate. My favorite football team is the Eagles. There are different positions in football to. The different positions are Offensive (interior) line. Backs and receivers. Defensive line. Linebackers. Defensive backs. The Offensive (interior) line: their job is to block, Backs and receivers: Wide receivers are among the fastest players on the field, Defensive line: tackles play at the center of the defensive line, Linebackers: Linebackers are members of the defensive team, and line up approximately three to five yards (4 m) behind the line of scrimmage, behind the defensive linemen, and therefore "back up the line", Defensive Backs: defensive line players and linebackers, who take positions directly behind or close to the line of scrimmage.
