Descriptive Essay On Football

I have grown up watching football with my family and friends, and it is my favorite thing to do. Through years of watching the game, I have learned how it works. It is not just throwing a ball or fans screaming after their favorite team gets a touchdown. There is a strategy that goes into it. First, let me guide you through the beginning of the game. American football is played on a field of grass 360 by 160 feet. You have the longer boundary lines that are the sidelines, and the shorter lines are the end lines. When a player runs down the field and makes a touchdown they are in the end zone. At each end of the field there is a goal line; they are 100 yards apart. Yard lines appear on the field every 5 yards. Two rows of short lines, known as inbounds lines or hash marks, run at 1-yard intervals perpendicular to the sidelines near the middle of the field. All plays start with the ball between the hash marks. At the back of each end zone are two goalposts (also called uprights) connected by the crossbar 10 feet from the ground. For high skill levels, the posts are 222 inches apart. For lower skill levels, these are

A soccer kick is the main offensive action during the game since, the team with the most shots on target has a better chance to score and win the game. It is important to know that before a shot is taken, the placement of the supporting leg and the kicking leg, and the body's balance before and during the foot's contact with the ball, are some of the key factors that the kicker has to look into, to have a successful shot.

Soccer in the past from now has dramatically developed in technology from simplicity to complications in modern soccer.
