American Football

American Football (just called football in the USA) is a team sport. It is played

 by two teams with 11 players on each side. American football is played with a ball

  with more pointed ends. Points are scored in many ways, usually by one team 

getting the ball into the end zone of the other team.

Field

An American football field.
American football is played on a field 120 yards long by 53⅓ yards wide. Most of the game is played on 100 yards in the middle. It is divided by 20 lines drawing every 5 yards. The field has two other sets of markings, running between the two end zones along the length of the field, known as "hashmarks". All plays must start between the hashmarks—if the last play ended outside the hashmarks, the ball is moved to the nearest hashmark. At the ends of the field there are scoring areas, called the end zones.
