It’s sometimes called a “pigskin” because it’s made

from leather.

football into their opponents  end zone,  either through running or passing.• Defensive (blocking) players

try to block, or stop offensive (with the ball) players by tackling them.

• Football players  wear a lot of equipment that helps to protect players who get tackled and jumped on a lot.

• A football game has two 30 minute periods.

• The break between the two periods is called half-time.

• During the Grey Cup there is usually a big half-time show.

The Field• White lines are

drawn across the field every 5 yards (4.6 m) from the goal line (these are called “yard lines”)

• The offence must move the ball at least 10 yards towards the opponents’ goal line in three downs (tries) or the ball goes to the other team.

• In football a goal is called a touchdown and is worth 6 points.

• Field goals are worth 3 points, and safeties are worth 2 points.
