Australian Rules Football (AFL) was formed in 1858 and to this day is the largest Football code in Australia.

To describe football, regulation requires that teams win by earning the most points than the opposing team like shooting hoops in basketball or running to home plate in baseball. During the process of the game, either team will play in offense or defense in order to gain or prevent points. Unlike most sports, the game of football require an enormous amount of physical contact that
The whole world comes together for the World Cup, a finals championship tournament for every country's team to compete to see who will be the winner. Even old people enjoy watching this game. According to Dictionary.com, soccer is defined as a 'form of football played between two teams of 11 players, in which the ball may be advanced by kicking or by bouncing it off any part of the body, except the arms and hands. However, in the case of the goalkeepers, they may use their hands to catch, carry, throw, or stop the ball.' There are no complex rules. No touching the ball only kicking. You have to get the ball into the goal to score a point. There also half times and out of bounds, but it's simple to understand. The competition is what I enjoy the most. I feel the rush of adrenaline shoot through me as I carry the ball down the field, and the other players trying to take it away from me.
Rugby is the true sport of men, because you wear no pads, and it is even more violent than football; however, football requires that you wear pads, thus being the true sport of want-to-be men.
Football can be traced by rugby and soccer. Walter Camp is the “Father of Football” (Bennett).The first American football game played in the 1860’s (Bennett). Football has a lot of history in the game. The rules are important to the game. The beginning of the National Football League is still going strong today. Strategies and formations of the game are important to study. Football is an aggressive sport and is one of the most played sports in the United States.
The problems and injuries that come with playing football have been obvious since the beginning, and to this day are still being discovered and researched in hopes of finding solutions so that the sport is not so dangerous. Malcolm Gla...
First of all, the rules of football require one to equip himself with approximately twenty pounds of equipment, including a helmet, shoulder pads, and girdle pads. This is because football has the most contact involved out of all sports. In a football game, the norm is that the home team wears colorful jerseys and the visiting team wears white jerseys. Moreover, if a team’s offense is on the field, their defense is on the sideline. A team’s offense includes a center, who snaps the ball to the quarterback. The “QB” then has a choice to run with the ball, hand it off to a running back, or throw it to a wide receiver. The quarterback has an offensive line to protect him from the assailing defense. If a teammate happens to score a touchdown, he earns his team six points, which allows for the kicker to kick an extra point, and give his team a total of seven points. However, if the offense fails to travel at least ten yards within four attempts, or “downs,” they have the opti...

Unfortunately though football had to come to an end. Having to hang my jersey and give up football before high school. Believe me it was neither my choice nor my second it was my parents’ design. My parents’ knew at the time that I love playing football, but they did not want me to get a concussion this I did not fully understand. Because not long after, sophomore year in high school I got my first concussion by played two-hand touch football. How it happened it was a weight lifting class and the class would play football and eventually two-hand touch exculpated to tackling.
Each summer when I was young, my mom would sign up for me and my brother to try out different sports. And one of the summer, my mom told us we are going to play a sport called rugby. When I first started to play rugby, I didn’t know what this sport was about. First day of practice, the field was filled a few puddle of mug because it was raining the day before. Therefore, we all try to avoid to get ourselves dirty by avoiding the muggy spot. As we were learning how to pass the ball and running around with the ball in our hands. The coach stopped us and tell us all to roll ourselves into the puddle of mug, because he see us all are afraid of getting dirty. He also tell us that if we want to play this sport, we can’t be afraid of getting dirty. That day I found out that rugby is a very interesting sport and also very dirty. After that summer, I start to like rugby and want to get better at it. Therefore, I joined a team to play with. At first I thought rugby was just a sport where players have to carry the ball and getting themselves dirty. But then I found out there tackles and different position and plays we have to learn. At first tackle is quite painful, but as I keep playing my shoulder got stronger and used to
Imagine it is a Friday night underneath the lights, in October, and you are walking into a stadium packed with fans cheering. But the only noise you can hear is the sound of your cleats hitting the pavement as you are marching up to the field, and the only thing you see is the other team and the end zone. It is such a stimulating feeling, it is unforgettable. Now, you may think I am talking about an American football game, but I am not. I am talking about a rugby match. Believe it or not, football derived from rugby. Differences are in rugby, there are no pads, the ball does not have laces, fifteen men to a side, and above all else, it is an international sport and it is safe compared to football. How come if it is safe, and it is a worldwide sport like soccer, why is it not a school sport like football is too many high schools and colleges across the country? Rugby needs to be a school sport not only because it is safe or it is international, but because it builds character in those that need support, teaches people how to work as team, and to expose what real brotherhood is.
Association football is played in agreement with a set of rules known as the ‘Laws of the Game’. The game is played using a sphere-shaped ball of 71 cm circumference known as the ‘football’ or ‘soccer ball’. Two teams of eleven players each participate to get the ball into the other team’s goal, thus scoring a goal. The team that has scored more goals at the end of the game wins. If both teams have scored an equal number of goals then the game is a tie. Each team is controlled by a captain.
Playing representative rugby allowed me to share my enthusiasm for the sport with others who share the same passion. I was encouraged to try out for the Fraser Valley team, and sequentially, the U16 BC coaches selected me to play for BC. It was a unique experience playing with the opposition instead of against them. During the school season, I only viewed them as competition, as obstacles standing in the way of victory. However, as our team played together, I undertook the initiative to break the lines that separated the team. Soon enough, we did not segregate by our school or our region, we opened our mindsets. Thereupon competitors became teammates and rivals became comrades, brought together by a sport we all love. Throughout the weeks, we endeavored together and the pack quickly flowed into a harmonious unit; we set aside every difference and every grudge, we became the epitome of a team, and we won Nationals. I believe all of us can apply the same philosophy in any aspect in our life. It is not an easy road; you do not learn from success, you do not learn from awards and accolades. You learn from mistakes, you learn from failures. It is a game where having all the skill in the world will not get you anywhere without your
Being a part of a team sport shows members commitment and dedication to an activity. It allows the team member to learn commitment not only in team sports, but overall in life as well. Going to practices, games and meetings, and showing dedication to a team that one is part of is vital. Athletes build character through their participation in sports.
The training and practices required to play professional football are intense. You have to wear uncomfortable pads and helmets and endure grueling practices in the heat of the summer and you have to lift weights every day (Green 174). You have to train no matter what position you play. What’s important about is how the position works and how it contributes to the game. Young boys must join high school football team, the road to football star begins in high school.
