The Game of Football
The Football Field EAGLES
Touchdown When the team brings the ball into the end zone, they score a touchdown Touchdown = 6 Points
Extra Point After scoring a touchdown, the kicker tries to kick the ball through the goal posts. If he makes it, the team scores one more point.
Field Goal If the team doesn’t think they are going to make the touchdown, they can kick a field goal which is worth three points.

Referee Signals Here are some of the different signals you will see a referee make during game…
Referees and Penalties In order to make sure the game is played fair there is one referee and six officials who oversee game play. If either team has an illegal play, the ref throws a yellow flag immediately to alert each team of the foul. The ref will then make a specific signal and call out the penalty after the play has occurred. If the offense has a penalty called they lose yardage and if the defense has a penalty called the offense gains yardage.
Penalties in networking Not networking – BIG mistake Ignoring the power of “internal networking” Not following up Confusing persistence with stalking
