how many players required to play a game of american football in each team?

Answer 1

11 players per side.

According to: http://homepages.cae.wisc.edu/~dwilson/rfsc/intro/
"The Players: Each team has 11 players on the field. Before a play starts, the offensive players meet in a huddle to decide which play to use. Plays are normally selected by the coaching staff who radio their selection to the quarter back who then tells the other players. The defensive players might also huddle to select their own strategy for the next play. The players then come up to the line of scrimmage which is an imaginary line drawn from one side of the field to the other through the tip of the football closest to the defense. Each team must stay on their own side of the line of scrimmage until the play starts."

You should read the entire article so you can get the field size and some of the rules. This article will give you some more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_football_rules
You should stick with College Football rules; it is the easiest and most common version of the game.

Answer 2

There are very few skills that cross over, tackling maybe, but even that is different in execution. There's no way professional American Footballers could hope to play the top rugby players at rugby and win, they wouldn't have the endurance to last, and if they did, they wouldn't have the skill set to compete in rucks, scrums or mauls. Likewise there's no way the top rugby players in the world could manage to figure out how to run plays (on offence or defence) and compete with the top American footballers. There's no blocking in rugby, and no real equivalent. If there's no blocking on a play in AF, there's no play. @Eagles fan, I doubt the AF players would even get a look in, we are talking the TOP players of each sport here. There are many different ways of attacking in rugby, generally only the two in AF (every play is a variation on a run or throw), the rugby players would only have to put in a chip kick, set a maul or run a wrap around backline move to completely disorient the football players. In fact, I doubt even defensive NFL players could figure out on the fly how to defend a tricky backline move. It takes years of practice, understanding and experience.

Answer 3

when they are on the field
you need 11 on each team so you really need 22 per team 11-offense 11-defense, unless of course you live in a small texas town where they play 6 man footbal and they usually play offense and defense.

hope this helps.
