6 points for a touchdown (goal - getting the ball in the endzone). Another point for a successful point-after-touchdown (PAT - very short field goal try) 7 points total usually per touchdown. \n3 points for a field goal. If a team is stopped short of the goal line, but within kicking range, then they can kick a field goal through the uprights. \nThose are the two main ways to score.\n\n5,6,7 touchdowns aren't unheard of.

Don't lunge at the ball or the offender will go the other way.\nUse the Sideline push him out to the side it is easier to steal the ball when the offender doesn't have much space.\nDon't pass it in the goalie box! ALWAYS kick it as high and far up the field to the corner.

Get low, don't aim low. If you dive at their shoetops (or knees), they are going to truck you.\n\nGet someone on your team your size or smaller to help you practice. Stand facing each other from 20 feet away, and then you kneel down. Have them walk slowly towards you with the ball as if they were going to pass you (on either side). Plant your shoulder into their hip, head behind them, face up, wrap your arms, and then roll to take them down. If they come straight towards you, you won't be able to roll; wrap just the same but fall backwards and drag them down as you do. Keep repeating until you're comfortable, and then start increasing the speed. \n\nWhen you're comfortable at speed, start working on exploding your shoulder up into them. As you wrap behind their legs, the effect should be to lift them off the ground. If you do lift them up, drive them back down into the ground to complete the hit. How much you can practice that is going to depend on your teammates' tolerance. \n\nOnce you're comfortable with all that from your knees, work on getting into a similar position standing. Some people will actually touch a knee to the ground before contact; some people are comfortable getting into a low squat. Making contact with someone big, 95% of the time, whomever gets lower will win. Play around with what stance both allows you to feel comfortable and allows you to explode forward. \n\nOnce you have that down, the trick is getting into position during a game. It's tough in open play, and most of the tackles will be stopping them however you can. Pursuing a kick, get there fast but under control, so you can get to your tackling stance when you need. Around the scrum, the hits tend to be better lined up, but with the crowd, clean hits are rare. But they're worth it when you get them.\n\nIf someone bigger than you takes a run at you, use the same technique, but rather than exploding, just wrap and drag them down. Make the tackle, don't be a hero.

okay, i have done this several times.  coaching girls is only frustrating if you take it seriously.  you need to take a fun approach at it.  dont be aggressive.  have fun and laugh about it.  \n\njust explain basic theory.  forward pass, runs, first downs and line of scrimmage.  so if you were to need to know the game i would start out like this...\n\nwhen you recieve the ball, you have four chances to get a first down or score.  if you get a first down you get another four downs or opportunities to score or progress.  you can gain yardage by a forward pass or a run.  typically on 4th down you have the opportunity to punt the ball in order to change position and give you the ability to play defense making it more challenging for the opposition to score.\n\ndefense is easy, pick a man and dont let them get more than 5 yards away.\n\nremember that it is a game.  too many people get too competitive for no good reason.

In the original game of football, before some of the rules changed, the main basis of scoring was to either drop kick a ball, punt, kicking field goals, and running with the ball much like rugby.  As time went on, the rules evolved with the game.  Why does it need to make sense?  Why don't you call your football soccer?  I think it sounds better.

It started out as a great way to score points...with ones foot.\n\nAmerican football was created by an Army General that thought rugby just didn't have enough excitement, regimentation or strategy ... so he adapted rugby...kept some of the features, like drop kicking for a score.\n\nIt's evolution has simply made it too dangerous and too difficult to attempt scoring in that manner...with the feet on the ball...\n\nWhile you're watching FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) - what - three languages in one title...\n\nlook at all the 21 year olds that play...now watch pro American football....a 21 year old would be slaughtered ... it takes years to make a man smart enough and tough enough for this sport.\n\nvisit me at a dot com called american-football-frankfurt

use your toes with the right foot to step over and push the ball to the left and feint to the right...at the same time stepping over with your left to exaggerate going to the right... \n\n...now the ball is a foot(12 inches) away from the outside of your left foot...flick it left fwd and away from defender...and go left...\n\nyou need to swivle hips so they fall for your fakes...good luck

i ve taken a lot of penalty kix for my HS team.... all you have to do is never look at the goalie... and put your head down but you have to know and never change your mind to where you are placing the ball.... i mean never change your mind.... dont get nervous... dont try anything fancy.. start at the the corner where the arc ends.... as you start sort of hop and skip and three steps before you kick slow down just a little and then speed up and kick the ball. i ve made all of my PKs that way and my team really trusts me on PKs. i usually use outside of my right foot... it goes to the corner and hits the bar sometimes but it goes in.

No one else noticed, did they?\nI hope you haven't turned in your extra credit answer about football yet.  The one you chose is wrong!!\n\nYou have to throw the ball in front of the receiver.  If the receiver is 25 yards away from the quarterback [it makes the math easier] and the quarterback throws a pass 50mph [a great arm], it will take 1 second to travel 25 yards.  The receiver will travel 4.5 yards to the left in that second.  To meet at the same place, the quarterback must throw to where the receiver will be in one second, 4.5 yards to the left.\n\nIf you're confused, draw a chart.  Show where the quarterback, receiver, and ball are right now, when the ball is thrown.  Then show where the receiever will be in one second.  That's where the ball has to be in one second.

Objective: American football is played by two teams who will have eleven players on the field at any one time. The object of the game is to get the ball to the opponents end of the field, and score more points than the opposing team.\n\nTo start a game, the referee will toss a coin. The visiting captain calls. The winner of the toss can decide whether to start in offense (receive the kick) or defense (deliver the kick). When play restarts in the second half, the captain who lost the toss at the beginning of the game chooses.\n\nIf a game goes into overtime, the first team to score wins, so the captain will almost always choose to go on the offense. Teams change ends at the start of the quarter.\n\nPlaying time lasts for one hour, divided into four fifteen minute quarters. There is a fifteen minute break between the second and third quarters (each half of the game).\n\nThe clock is stopped when the ball is not in play, when a foul has been committed, or when a fair catch has been caught. The clock is also stopped for time outs. Both teams are allowed three time outs, lasting a maximum of two minutes each, in each half.\n\nBoth the clock and the game itself are stopped two minutes from the end of each half by the referee to allow the teams to plan their strategies.\n\nIf the scores are level at the end of the fourth quarter, overtime will be played. In NFL games, only one period of overtime is played, and if the scores are still level, the game is declared a draw. For championship and playoff games, periods are played until a winner is decided (the first team to score).\n\n\n\n\nMORE COMPLEX RULES\n\n\n\nKick off \nTop of page\n\nPlay starts with a kick off at the start of the second half, but when the teams turn around and change ends at the start of the first and third quarters, play is started from the same position on the field as where it finished, but in the opposite half of the field. The same team will keep possession.\n\nThe kick-off is used to restart play after all point-afters and field goals. The kick-offs are always taken from the 35-yard line, unless a penalty has been given. The team making the point after always restarts the game with a kick-off. If the kick is unsuccessful, the defense starts play from their own 25-yard line and so they become the offense.\n\n\n\nScoring \nTop of page\n\nAs with many sports, the object is to score more points than the opponents. There are several different ways of scoring in American football.\n\nThe largest single score comes from a touchdown. This is worth six points. It is scored when an offensive player runs into the opposing end zone while in possession of the ball. A receiver can also make a catch delivered into the same area. The ball does not have to be actually 'touched down' on the ground for the points to be scored.\n\nA successful touchdown is followed by a kick through the goalposts, known as the conversion, or 'point-after'. This is worth one point. For this, the ball is placed on the 2-yard line and snapped (passed backwards through the legs) to the kicker, who tries to kick it over the crossbar and between the upright posts.\n\nA player can touch the ball onto the ground in the end zone without their whole body being in the end zone, and the touchdown still counts. However, the scoring player must not be pushed or helped in any way by other players.\n\nThe next type of scoring is called the field goal. A field goal counts as three points. It is taken from 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage (the line where the last play ended, so the next play is made from there), to give the kicker more time, and some protection from the defense. Again, the ball must be kicked through the posts. The kicker is credited for the kick from whatever distance it was taken from.\n\nThe fourth and final way of scoring is called the safety. Two points are awarded to the offensive team when the defensive team are caught in possession of the ball in their own end zone.\n

Touchdown - 6 points, with 1 point after for ball kicked through uprights, 2 points for rush or catch into endzone.\nField Goal - 3 points, independent of distance\nSafety - 2 points, scored by either tackling an offensive player in his endzone, an offensive player stepping out of the endzone or fumbling the ball out of the enzone, or an offensive penalty in their own endzone.

They say it's low scoring. But when you give 7 points to every goal like American football, you can get quite a high scoring encounter going on.\n\nThey don't understand the passion and the beauty of the game.

Pass backwards, kick ahead, hit low and ruck over!!!
