The freedom I feel when playing football is indescribable. I love football! I got started playing football with my older family members when I was little. My mom saw how good I was, so she put me on a team called Gibbs Jr Gladiators. Football is a sport that kids, teens, and adults can play. You win a football game by scoring touchdowns every time you score. You get 6 points after you score you can get 2 points by running the ball and you can get 1 point by passing the ball after you score. There is a yellow line on the football field called the first down marker. When you pass, it you get a first down. If you are at the 1 yard line and you get tackled in your end zone, it is called a safety and the other team gets 2 points and you have to punt the ball. When you punt the ball, the other team gets the ball, and they get to return the ball and you have to try to tackle them on a kickoff, the kicker kicks the ball deep and it is a person back there to return the ball. Then the kicker team need to try and tackle the person who is returning the ball and try to make sure they don’t score.
