Player Down - When his knee touches the ground

Football Field Lenghts - Full field is 100 yards; 50 yards on each side of center, goes from 50-10 as you get closer to the endzone

What Does the Center Do - snaps the ball to the Quarterback

Offensive Positions - Quarterback, running back, receivers, tight ends, and linemen

Defensive Positions - linemen, safeties, cornerbacks
