Seven Codes of Football's extreme beginner's guide to Canadian Football.

The goal of this video is to give a brief explanation of the core elements of Canadian Football so a person unfamiliar with the sport can watch a game on TV or in person with some competency.

PLEASE NOTE: this is just a simple introduction, not an exhaustive review of all the rules. I have intentionally left some things out. My goal is to only give enough information to someone so that they may follow a game with no prior knowledge.

The rules of Canadian Football are thick and complex. Future videos will dig deeper into the various rules.

Topics covered:
• The Ball
• Teams
• Moving the Ball
• Downs and Yardage
• Stopping the Ball
• Scoring on Offense
• Scoring on Defense
• The Kickoff
• Punting
