oh you mean soccer

Answer 2

If you're talking about american football and not soccer:

>There are no "forwards" in american football.
There are on offense: Center, 2 tackles, 2 guards, 1-2 tight end, a split end, a flanker, a fullback, a halfback and a quarterback
On defense: 1 Nose tackle or 2 defensive tackles, 2 defensive ends, 3-4 linebackers, a strong safety, a free safety and 2 cornerbacks

The benefits are teamwork, toughness, courage, determination, discipline, and sportsmanship

A football field is 100 yards long broken down into 5 yard increments with a 10 yard long end zone at each end of the field.

Answer 3

I'm assuming you're talking about real football, where everyone wear helmets and throw around an oval-shaped ball.

Firstly, there are no forwards. There is an offensive side, who is in charge of getting the ball into the end zone. The first few players you see prior to the snap (the term used to describe "hiking" the ball) are the offensive line. Composed of five to seven of the biggest players on the field, these guys are responsible for protecting their quarterback from incoming rushers, and to maintain their blocks long enough for the quarterback to throw the ball or the running back to run it.

Behind the center (the one who snaps the ball) is the quarterback. Sometimes referred to as the "field general", this guy is responsible for making sure the ball is in the right hands to gain positive yardage, whether that be through the air, in a handoff to a running back, or tucking the ball away and trucking down the field (see: Mike Vick).

The running backs line up close to the QB. Their job is fairly simple: if the ball ends up in their hands, they run like mad toward the other team's end zone.

Same rule applies for the receivers, whether lined up near the sideline as a wide receiver, or on the line of scrimmage as an end. If they're thrown the ball, their job is to catch it and, if they have room to run, get as close to the end zone as possible.

On defense, the goal is to get the ball back in your team's hands and put the team in a position to score either by stoppint the offense from making a first down (they only get four downs to work with per ten-yard segment, and each time a play goes past the ten yards, the downs reset), or intercepting/stripping/recovering the ball.

Lined up on the O-line are two or three defensive linemen, depending on the playset called. They're the first line of defense, responsible for stopping the run if the case may be, or sacking the quarterback. A little pressure applied and some manuevering past the offensive linemen and a D-lineman can force the quarterback to throw incomplete or even throw an interception.

Also on the line are the cornerbacks, whose job is to stay on the receivers and not let them catch the balls thrown at them. If caught, though, the corner is the first line of defense on the sideline, and their next task is containment or, making sure the play doesn't go for a touchdown.

The linebackers line up behind the D-linemen. They watch for the run or the throw and act accordingly. Sometimes a play is called on Defense that may require a linebacker to blitz the quarterback, at which point, they run through the line and try to pressure/sack the opposing QB.

The safties behind them act exactly as their name implies: their job is to keep long plays from getting out of hand (or even chasing receivers to make sure they're not free to catch the ball and run). If asafety gets beat, it's almost always a touchdown.

The regulation field is 50x120 yards. 100 yards is is the play field. No plays are run inside the end zones. The ten-yard segments on the long ends of the field are the end zones. If the ball breaks the end zone line, it's a touch down, but if a ball is caught outside the end zone, it's out of bounds. That's why the last 20 yards are almost always counted in a field's length.

Answer 4

there are no forwards in football (American football, that is), the field is either "field turf" or real grass, and the benefits of playing include not being a wuss.

The end zone is located at the furthest ends of the field. That's where you really want to be.

Answer 5

There are no forwards in this sport.

The benefits of American Football (where you posted your question) are:
extreme physical conditioning (which includes cardio-vascular as well as muscular),
strong social interaction and a large friendship group,
high-self-esteem,
positive principles of leadership and success,
A sense of self-efficacy and accomplishment,
An outlet for frustrations,
A mental challenge for tactics and techniques related to football.

A typical football field is 50 yards wide and a 120 yards long.
The endzone is the last 10 yards on either end.
