By the end of class, your students will know the basic structure of the game of American football. They will know common terminology heard throughout the games. They will understand how scoring is recorded. They will understand the basic rules of the game. During class students will learn the names and purpose for each position on the field. Coach Chris will review the 32 teams of the NFL and the divisions and conferences to which they belong. She will review the biggest team rivalries and general team histories. After taking this class, students will feel confident in participating in football discussions among friends and classmates. They will feel more comfortable watching football games with family, friends and class peers.
