Period 4 General PE Blog 3 Football

Alright boys and girls, we have had a change in plans and will be starting football this week as opposed to tennis.  If you have done the tennis blog great!  You will not have to do it when it comes back up, but you still have to complete this weeks football blog.

We are starting football and as I told you Monday football is a complicated sport because there are so many different positions and each position has a different responsibility, and requires a different skill set. The object of the game is to get the ball down the field to score. Assigning the right position to each player will make this job easier.  Take a moment to read over the positions and the skills that each position should have and assign the members of your team to each position.  Strategy comes into play here also.  You may have a person who is fast and good at catching, but is also your best quarterback.  You will have to decide where to put them.  These positions are not permanent and can be switched at any time.
Quarterback - Good under pressure, can make quick decisions, nice throwing arm.

Wide Reciever - Fast person with an ability to catch.

Tight End- Good at catching short passes doesn't need to be superfast.

Center - Must be willing to touch the ball on every play. Doesn't need to be superfast but has good hands.

Runningback - Is agile. Has ability to cut back and forth and make people miss the tackle through dodging and finding the open lane.



Please assign positions for every person on your team and yourself.
