History

American football down the football (soccer) and rugby. These two disciplines are codified in England introduced in North America in 1861 for football (soccer) and in 1864 or 1865 for rugby. The first games of rugby played on the American continent are probably played in 1864 in Toronto or Montreal in 1865. The Canadian branch will give rise to Canadian football.

United States, the university teams also practice rugby and football (soccer). It's also a chance of confusion. Thus, for a long time was regarded as the first football game was held November 6, 1869: Rutgers needed 6-4 at the College of New Jersey (later Princeton). According to research by historian Stephen Fox, this match New York ball could be a football (soccer). Princeton1 2 and the NFL now admit this version.

Canadians offer the Americans a rugby match between the University of Montreal's McGill University to Harvard students, who did not practice at all football. We play a half-time by the rules of each university. In effect, each school has its own regulations, as was also the case in Europe a few years earlier. Harvard adopted in 1875 as the regulation enacted by Yale, but it is still a mix between rugby and football (soccer), called "combination" in Europe. It was not until November 23, 1876, and the famous Massasoit Convention, "to see the establishment of common rules at several American universities. In fact, they adopt all the laws of the federation of English rugby with the exception of one detail, the counting of points. American football clearly different from his ancestors is still to create.

Between 1880 and 1883 Walter Camp Coach of Yale, fundamentally changes the rules and spirit of the game: players reduced from 15 to 11, reducing the ground surface and the introduction of scrimmage. These changes are complemented by Walter Camp others to the same period: a team must return the ball to the opponent if it failed to advance five yards in three attempts. American football was born.

The former professional players are identified in 1892-1893, but not until 1896 to see the first team composed entirely of professional players, "Allegheny Athletic Association. A year later, "Latrobe Athletic Association is the first team to finish a full season with a panel composed exclusively of professional players (1897).

The first completed pass of 27 October 1906. Before that date, forward passes were not allowed.

National Football League (NFL) is set up in 1920 to put an end to the mismanagement that reigns in the world of football.

American football remains long confined only to the United States where he became the number one sport, to baseball, from the 1970s. Notable exception, Japan, U.S. influence forces, where playing a college championship since 1947. The game was introduced in Europe between the late 1970s and early 1980s. An international federation of football was created in 1998.

Although it does not seem to be any affiliation between the two sports, the modern form of American football is very close to rugby league. Indeed, the rule of four "downs" is equivalent to the five "must" or "fallen" - a term that translates exactly "down" - from rugby league. The only difference is that the "quarterback" - the counterpart of the "half light" in rugby league - is allowed to make a forward pass.

Land and equipment

The plot measures a total of 120 yards (yards in Quebec) in length, 53.3 m 109.68 yards wide (48.8 m). American rules of the National Football League specify dimensions Length: 360 feet by 1603.

At each end of the field, we find the in-goal area called the end zone and, at the bottom of it, poles between which the ball must pass for the conversion kick after a touchdown or field goal - field goal. The in-goal area is 10 yards, about 9.144 m in length after the goal line and this, across the width of the field. It is common to see the in-goal areas painted in the colors of the home team.

The land is divided into portions of 5 yards - 4.6 m - represented by lines of white paint to better visualize the distances traveled. Every 10 yards - 9.1 m - and to center field, the distance between the line of the in-goal area is marked by white police.

All yards and center of the field called hashmarks hatched lines are arranged. These hashmarks define the maximum width allowed to put into play so that the latter are held too close to the sidelines.

At the bottom of each in-goal area, a yellow pole is erected in the middle of the width of the field. This post is complemented by a horizontal bar at 3.05 meters tall and itself complemented by two vertical posts 5.6 m apart The bars on the total height of 9 m poles, at a minimum. Unlike rugby where the poles form a H, American football, the posts are in the shape of a Y

Facilities

The proliferation of often deadly accidents in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, pushed the authorities to make compulsory coverage at the amateur level. Each player now carries the following protective equipment:

a helmet with screens (facemask)
a shoulder (shoulder pad),
a mouth guard (mouth piece),
protections on the thighs, hips, tailbone and on the knees (optional among professionals).

The helmet is the most important and most heavy equipment, it is composed of a plastic shell filled with inner tubes and foam pieces. The helmet should fit perfectly the skull of the player being kept tight through the chin and inner tubes. Using a mouthguard is mandatory.

The grille of the helmet made of steel (for this reason we do not play football in stormy weather) plastic provides protection to the chin of the face. It must be solid while allowing maximum visibility. The higher the position a player is exposed to shocks, the grid will be more protective. Indeed, the gates of the helmets are different depending on the positions occupied. Open for quarterbacks and receivers who need to have a good vision, they are tighter for the linemen.

Some players wear gloves specific to their position. For example, a lineman (lineman) will be reinforced joints and gloves on top of the hand while a wide receiver (wide receiver) will be the finest glove with better grip to better capture the ball. It is also good football shoes (cleats, molded cleats or screw).

The ball is oval shaped like rugby, but slightly smaller (30 cm long and 56 cm in circumference) and weight (397-425 grams), allowing the quarterback to run far and fast with one hand. It includes a loop for a better grip for the quarterback and he can print a rotary movement which stabilizes and prolongs its trajectory. It is also called "pig skin", literally pig skin, on which it was originally made. It is now made of cowhide.

Playing the game
Duration

The game lasts 60 minutes - but several hours in total - and has four quarter-time of 15 minutes (ie, two halves of thirty minutes). Between the first and second quarter, it just makes a change from the side and we keep the same relative position to the ball. However, between the second and third quarter (first and second half), the rest about 20 minutes. Early in the third quarter-time the team has received commitments commits turn. In case of equality, an "extension" was played on the mode of "sudden death" until the 2009-2010 season. At the annual meeting of the NFL during the off-season in March 2010, the rule is changed, especially following the conference finals the last NFC play-off which saw the Saints beat the Vikings with a field-goal in extension. Now the team has possession during the first over-time can not win on a field-goal. A team starting with overtime possession of the ball can not win the game than scoring a touchdown. If the person does a field goal, the other team takes the ball to turn and may attempt to equalize with a field goal or winning by entering Touchdown.

Phases of the game

A football game is divided into two distinct phases of the game: offense and defense. The change between the two phases takes place several times detailed below.

The game begins with a kickoff or punt commitment. This kick is used to initiate the start of each half (first and third quarter-time) or to resume play after a team has scored points. It is, in most cases, used to send the ball as far as possible into the opponent. A player from the opposing team must catch the ball and try to advance ball in hand. The place where the player will be plated up the ball will determine where the attack phase begins for his team. When the ball lands in the area of ??the in-goal of the team that will go to attack, the player receives the ball can either decide to try to play the ball has to kneel to end the game Phase then start on the offensive line for 20 yards on the team - this is called touchback5.

The team with the ball in the attack phase and has four attempts to cover a distance of 10 yards - also known as rod in Canada, representing about 9.1 m - from the line of the early phase of attack the line of scrimmage. The attacking team will then advance by gaining 10 yards by 10 yards, we sometimes say that football is a game of earning a spot ". If the offensive team back it will regain lost ground and 10 yards as well as the classics for a new series of four attempts (downs).

If, after four attempts, the team has traveled the distance of 10 yards (or more if it had fallen), the possession is given to the opponent. The opponent then recovered the ball at the spot where the attack stopped: it is a turnover downs. To prevent the opposing team gets the ball too close to the in-goal area and is therefore in a favorable situation to score too, it is possible to type a kick to clear the ball. This kick is called a punt release (also called punt in Canada). It is generally performed at the fourth attempt.

The attack phase begins with the ball held by the center of the offensive line that passes between his legs at quarterback. Two ways to progress arise when players of the offensive team:

race: in this mode of play the ball is passed directly from hand to hand by the quarterback - also known as the quarterback in Canada - another player named running back - running back. It must run the ball, avoiding opposing defenders. There are many variants of this type of attack: for example, the quarterback can run the ball without making passes or can pass to running back through a short pass. Nevertheless, the quarterback can not make a pass as long as it did not exceed the line of scrimmage.
the forward pass: the quarterback launched a pass to one of his receivers that will, in advance, moved on the ground following a clear trajectory. This path, known in advance of the players, allows also the synchronization between passer and receiver, to destabilize the defense using atypical trajectories. Once the ball caught by the receiver, it can continue to run ball in hand. For a valid password or the ball must be caught without touching the ground by a player with both feet inside the boundary. If this is not the case the password is called "incomplete".
the lateral pass: this tactic is very rare because very risky, but reminds rugby, the number of passes is unlimited as long as the passes are only backward or sideways.

Phase defense several methods can be used to halt the progression of the ball:

Plating: the purpose of plating is to ground the ball carrier. The game stops when the ball carrier is on the ground, the next attempt to begin to attack where the player was tackled. Only a player with the ball can be plated. Made a tackle on the quarterback sack is called. If the tackle takes place in the in-goal area, it is worth 2 points to the defensive team, (we speak of safety). If the tackled player loses the ball, the ball can be recovered by either team. This particular event, which could result in a reversal (turnover) if the defense gets the ball, is called fumble. If a player is tackled inside the ground, the clock continues. If it leaves or is forced into touch, the clock stops. This a very significant impact on the strategy of the game in attack.
Interception: it occurs when a defender intercepts a pass intended for receiver. The defender who made the interception can move ball in hand until it is plated. His team begins its attack phase to the point where the tackle occurred.
