There is a Goal Post at each end of the field, in the End Zone, one for each team.\u00a0 Each team has an Offense and a Defense. If the Offense has the ball and tries to score by getting it across the Goal Line &#8211; the line where the playing field and the End Zone meet, the Defense tries to stop them. The Offense gets four tries to move the ball 10 yards toward their own goal post. These are called Downs. If they make the 10 yards or more, they get another four tries to move the ball another 10 yards. If they don&#8217;t move the ball 10 yards in four tries, the ball goes to the other team, or the team \u201closes the ball.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0A Football Game is made up of 60 minutes of play time. The 60 minutes is divided into four Quarters of 15 minutes each. At the end of two Quarters, there is a break called Half Time. On the Scoreboard you can see the minutes and seconds running out. The team with the most points at the end of four Quarters wins.<\/p>\n<p>The Super Bowl is the final game of the Football season when two teams play each other for the championship. The game takes place in late January or early February. For some people the TV commercials are the best part of the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.aupairinamerica.com\/cha\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2012\/08\/images5.jpg\">https:\/\/blogs.aupairinamerica.com\/cha\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2012\/08\/images5.jpg<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American Football season kicks off this month The first game is September 5th ~ Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/aupairinamerica.com\/resources\/life_in_the_us\/football.asp\">http:\/\/aupairinamerica.com\/resources\/life_in_the_us\/football.asp<\/a> for the full rules of American Football.
