One team of 11 players tries to take the land by carrying and passing the football across the 100 yards of real estate occupied by the other team. The offensive team must take at least 10 yards of real estate in four plays or give up the football to the other team. Success is achieved when a team carries or passes the ball over the opponent s goal line at the end of the 100 yards of real estate. When the offensive team gets close to the goal line, they can also kick the ball between the goal posts to gain a lesser score.
Teams take turns attempting to secure the land and cross the goal line.
It is played nearly everywhere, mostly by males. Every successful team needs to have some players that are just plain rough and mean when they line up to acquire land. You gotta love physical contact to play the game well.
