1. Football History
American football comes from rugby football.
The first major football game was won by Rutgers University (score - 6) against
Princeton University (score - 4). Their war was in 1869 -- four years after the
Civil War.
Coloring football boy, the main idea of
football is still the same. Football fans still yell, "Run that
football!", "Throw it!", "Kick it!", and "Score
man, score!"
2. Football Fundamentals
Coloring kid, you must get the ball into your
opponent's end zone.
Get yourself an egg-shaped, air-filled leather ball to throw, catch or kick.
Follow the rules and regulations. No running "any-which-a-way" with
the football, man!
Only two teams can square off. Your team and
the other guy's team must have eleven players on the field at one time. Smaller
football leagues use fewer than eleven guys.
The teams take turns playing offensive (trash
talking is allowed), then playing defensive (cry baby guys are not allowed).
The offensive team possesses the ball until
they score, or fail to gain 10 yards in four tries, or loses the ball to the
defensive team.
The defensive team tries to stop the offense
from gaining yardage or scoring. The defense tries to steal the ball, too.
3. Organized Football
Structure
Do you love knocking people down, kid? Is
screaming in a big guy's face your dream
come true? Is slamming a little guy into planet Earth your idea of fun?
Well, Coloring football kid, tackle football is for you...
NO! Football coloring Kid, no scratching or
spitting! "Eye-gouging and kicking?" NO! "Choke holds and pistol
whipping?!" NO! Don't get greedy, kid...
Here is a little lowdown info to help
understand organized football structure:
Teams may change their players as long as 11
guys are on the field.
Scrimmage is the action once the ball is snapped (quickly given) to the
Quarterback by his Center until the ball is dead.
Line of Scrimmage is an invisible field line where teams face each other. Now
get this...
Both teams can have three specialized teams
where players have one or more roles.
Here are a few roles...
I. The Specialized Offense Team must score or
gain yardage to win. The Quarterback
leader gets the ball from his Center man -- his second brain. The QB throws the
ball to a Receiver, or hands it to a Running Back or runs the ball himself
(gutsy!). The Offense Line is five Mack trucks. The power protects the Passer,
block, and leave tread marks on defense players' backs. Running Backs have
roles in running the ball, catching, blocking plus wreaking havoc on yardage.
Wide Receivers catch zooming balls from the Quarterback. These guys have
"superhero" speed plus they block, too. Tight Ends have two roles.
They can perform as Wide Receivers or as Offensive Linemen who protect
Quarterbacks and block for Runners. II. The Specialized Defense Team
must stop opponents from scoring or gaining yardage. The Defensive
Line has 3 to 6 "massive giants" blocking the sun and creating
darkness and pain along the line of scrimmage. Linemen ("monster
trucks") roll over running backs. They crash test "sack" the
quarterback before he passes or hands off the ball. Linebackers cause
nightmares. They lurk behind the Defensive Linemen plus rush the quarterback or
cover receivers. Defensive Backs with superhero speed cover receivers and stop
zooming passes plus rush quarterbacks! III. The Specialized Special
Team must score extra points. Got a funky leg and foot, kid? Become a
punter or place kicker to get those game saving extra points. Long snappers
need pinpoint skills, too.
4. Players' Skills
Levels
Professional level There are 32 US teams for want to be professional players. American football leagues are found in 50 countries!

Football coloring kid, if you can't cut the professionals levels go to the semi-professional leagues. Or become a sports agent or lawyer! Don't play the fool, kid, study hard at the... College level Your pro football training starts in college. Nearly every college and university have a football team and stadium. You like crowds, football coloring kid? Go to a college game. If you get lost hold your tears, boy. Wait by the security station. After the last 60,000 to 100,000 fans leave your people can spot you! High School level More high school boys play football than college guys play football. High school leads to collegiate, then to professional level football careers, then to high paying TV commercials careers. The high school sophomore year is when most players decide about a football career. Some professionals learned to play football in... Youth and Pee Wee level Do 5 to 14-year-old players have fans besides mom and dad? "Yes."
