Focus on Football Basic Rules.

 


Kickoff: 

• Game starts with a kick-off from team’s zero yard line. 

• A kickoff (in air) that is dropped is a “dead ball” at that spot. 

• A kickoff (on ground) may be picked up and returned.

 • Out of bounds kickoff= Team starts at mid-field or where the ball went out of bounds (returning team chooses) 

1st Down and Girl Involvement: 

• 4 plays to get to first down (mid-field) cone. 

• A girl must be involved in one play before the first down marker AND before getting a touchdown. o Running the ball o Pass attempt to girl- doesn’t have to be caught o Quarterback pass by girl 

• Girl hiking the ball to QB does not count as a girl play 

• A touchdown pass or score by a girl is worth 2 touchdowns • 2 ways a boy can score without a girl being involved o Kickoff return o Interception and taken back for a touchdown 


Other PE Football Rules: 

• No QB sneaks and no blitzing by defense. 

• Defenders must count out 5 alligators before rushing the QB 

• If QB hands off for running play, defense may cross the line of scrimmage and go for the flag. 

• Defenders may not touch QB’s arm at any time- flag only.

 • Only 1 forward pass allowed per play. Ball is dead at sport if a 2nd forward pass on the same play is made. Teams can do as many laterals (backward pass) as they want. 

• If you score before a girl is involved in a play the ball is brought back 2 yards from the first down marker or the end zone. 

• On all TD’s, scoring team stays and other team walks.
