How Much Space Do You Need To Play A Game Of Football?
813107
American football is played on a field that is 120 yards long and 50 yards across i believe.  100 yards for the field and each endzone is 10 yards deep.\n\nI would like to add that i see that this is about Soccer so the size of the field would be 120yards x 60 yards.

Let's assume your question is only in reference to the gravitational differences, i.e. forget about the lack of air, the necessity for a space suit, the surface, etc.  \n\nIt's fun to think about.  It would be an exaggeration to say a football could be kicked into orbit, but the ball could certainly be kicked a lot further.  With one-sixth gravity, the ball should travel about 2 1/2 times further.  So, 100+ yard field goals should be quite makeable, and forget about kicking off from the 35 or 40 - it'll have to be from the back of the endzone, that or expand the field to at least 200 yards.\n\nI think the gravitational difference would create some bigger issues.  For starters, running would be more difficult.  Astronauts who have been to the moon say it is easier to hop bunny-style.  Figuring the best athletes should have at least a 20-foot verticle leap, that should produce some impressive hopping - one jump should be enough for a first down.  So, maybe 10 yards for a first down is another rule that would have to be scrapped, changing it to something like first and 25.  \n\nCould the game still work?  Eh, maybe, maybe not.  One thing is for sure, though - the game would look a lot diferent.

Without seeing you play, or perform even drills it is impossible for anybody on this board to tell you what position that you would be best suited to play. Alot would also depend on the type of defense your team plays. I you in an even front (4-3, 4-4, or even 6-2) or do you play an odd front (3-4, 5-2, or even 5-3). Does your team play an attacking 1 gap style or a more read and react 2 ga pstyle. \n\nWe don't know how strong or quick you are. We don't know the leve lof competion or size of the players in your league and team. On all but the biggest of HS football programs, 6 ft , 230 lbs is large enough to play Defensive line, OL or LB. \n\nBe aggressive, continue to work out, and havew faith that your coaching staff will put you in the best position to succeed and have your team succeed.

Unlike many sports you need very little to play.  All you need is a ball and a few jackets for posts.  For many games you cannot play a proper game without extra equipment etc.\nAlso it is rely simple.  The basic rules are very easy to grasp.  It is also easy to play.  By that I mean that with a basic grasp of the rules you can pick up a ball and have a game.  That's not to say it doesn't involve skill.  What I mean is that you don't have to start early and can still enjoy a kick about.\nIt also is accessible to all.  Sports like basketball favour a certain type of person.  It would be incredibly difficult to play basketball well if your short.  Football is different in that anyone who is fit and puts in the effort has a chance.\n\nSo by all that I mean that football in accessible to all.  That makes it very appealing.

It all depends on you.  Football is a game of speed and strength.  If you want to be good at it you have to be bigger and faster than everyone else on the field.  Weights are important for about an hour or so a day, but don't forget about speed.  Find a gradual incline in a road or sidewalk or park somewhere, measure off 40 or 50 yards and sprint up the hill.  Do that about 10 times or so with a short break in between each rep.  I did this, ran distance the other 3 days a week (took sundays off) going into my Junior year.  I dropped 0.30 sec off my 40 time.  Good luck!

It all depends on your position in soccer.\n\nforwards: 5 - 7 miles. Maybe 8 if you just love to run.\nmidfielders: 8 - 9 miles. And sometimes possibly 10. Depends on the game.\ndefenders: depending on how good the attack is about anywhere from 5 miles.\ngoalies: anywhere from 40 - 80 ft.\n\nBasketball players: all around 5 miles, more or less. Depending on the professional level.

I found a lot of different answers online. But according to five different sources, every NFL game is equipped with 24 footballs. (Plus, I remember reading that in a recent Sports Illustrated.)\n\nAccording to the NFL Rules Digest, "The home club shall have 36 balls for outdoor games and 24 for indoor games available for testing with a pressure gauge by the referee two hours prior to the starting time of the game to meet with League requirements. Twelve (12) new footballs, sealed in a special box and shipped by the manufacturer, will be opened in the officials’ locker room two hours prior to the starting time of the game. These balls are to be specially marked with the letter "k" and used exclusively for the kicking game."

It's the simplest.\n\nAll soccer/football needs:\n(1) a ball\n(2) a big playing field\n(3) a minimum of 2 players (1 if you're good)\n\nWith few resources, it can be played all around the world easily.  Unlike other sports which require tons of equipment and lots of players.

On an average pitch (115 yds * 75 yds) about 14.36 laps.\n\n\nEdit; That would be a 'proper' football (ie. soccer) pitch ; )

As stated in the FIFA handbook:\n\nField surface \n  Matches may be played on natural or artificial surfaces, according to the rules of the competition. \n \n\nDimensions \n  The field of play must be rectangular. The length of the touch line must be greater than the length of the goal line. \n \n             minimum           maximum  \nLength: 90 m (100 yds) 120 m (130 yds) \nWidth:   45 m (50 yds)   90 m (100 yds)  \n \n\nInternational Matches \n              minimum            maximum  \nLength: 100 m (110 yds) 110 m (120 yds) \nWidth:   64 m (70 yds)     75 m (80 yds)\n\nSo anywhere between the specified dimensions are acceptable dimensions.

Better to play Flag Football...this way here no one can get injured.\n\nTake 2 pieces of cloth and just hang from the waist\n\nWhy the other player grabs a cloth from the ball carrier the play stops there.\n\nHave fun & be Safe !

Your still growing..  DE a good position, but here is more to being a good footbal player that size and muscle.. Speed, quickness, football smarts and being aggressive have to be there too..  \n\nwithout the desire, dedication and discipline you will never be a great DE..

Yes, indeed. Since you only need a ball to play, football soccer trascends race, social status, religion, and economic power. In addition, to become a player one needs not have any special physical characteristics such as height, weight, or body frame. \nVirtually anybody in any place can play, even in places that were not designed to play football, such as hallways, parking lots, or even on roads.
