Rules Of Football
The rules of football can be complex and vary depending on the level of
play. We will cover some of the basics here including the field,
players.
Football Field
The football field is 120 yards long and 53 ½ yards wide. At each end of
the field and 100 yards apart are the goal lines. The additional 10
yards at each end is the end zone. The field is divided up every 5 yards
by a yard line. The middle yard line marker is called the 50 yard line.
In parallel to the side lines are rows of hash marks. The football is
always placed on or between the hash marks at the start of each play.
This ensures that the teams have space to line up on both sides of the
football.
Football Players
Football Players
The rules in football allow each team to have eleven players on the
field at a time. Teams may substitute players between plays with no
restrictions. Each team must start a play on their side of the ball.
The defensive players may take any position they want and can move about their side of the football prior to the play without restriction. Although there are certain defensive positions that have become common over time, there are no specific rules defining defensive positions or roles.
