All About Football 

  

The game of football is a contact sport. The whole field contains 22 players ( including offense and defense.) At the beginning of the game there is a kickoff. There are 120 yards from the end of the endzone to the other end. A touchdown is worth 6 points. After the touchdown, you get the choice of the 2 point conversion or kicking for an extra point.

A player wears 10 to 12 pieces of protective equipment . A professional football weighs 14 to 15 ounces. The quarterback has control of the football at the begining of the play. A safety is worth 2 points and the team that got the safety gets to return the kick.
