Differences Between American and European Football

Differences Between American and European Football

The European Football Conference (EFC) and the National Football League (NFL) have been meeting for 53 years. These conferences have played out very differently in these decades, from the physicality to the viewership of games.

In American football, a touchdown results in six points being scored by a team. In European football, teams score only two points with a successful conversion kick after scoring a touchdown. Also, in American football there are eleven players on each side while European football has fifteen players per side. Other differences include the number of downs that may be made before possession is changed and how many yards must be made to achieve a first down depending upon where it occurred between the two forty-yard lines at the beginning of play.

Things to Teach Your Child About Basketball

Things to Teach Your Child About Basketball

As a parent, it is your responsibility to teach your child about life. Well, that’s not actually true but it sounds good. Let me put it to you another way: It is important for children to learn the skills they will need in life early on. This includes sportsmanship, the benefits of hard work and teamwork, how to be a good friend, how to deal with disappointment or even losing…the list goes on.

One thing I think sometimes gets neglected when teaching our children everything else they need to know is simple etiquette in sportsmanship. Now this isn’t something you can just sit them down one day and say ‘now here are the rules, it should be taught over time while playing games together with family etcetera.

The Best Tennis Players of All Time

The Best Tennis Players of All Time

Tennis is one of the most popular sports in the world. One of the reasons for this is that it can be played anywhere, just by using a racquet and ball. It has existed in its current form since 1874 when Major Walter Clopton Wingfield came up with the idea after reading an article on “sphairistike” (the ancient Greek game from which modern lawn tennis derives), which was published in Bell’s Life magazine in July 1873, about a new game combining elements of racquets and the Basque game pelota, that had recently been invented by British army officers in India. The fact that you don’t need any expensive equipment means that people around the world can play it. At the top professional level, tennis is played by both men and women from all over the world in a multitude of tournaments. In singles tennis, unlike many other sports, the best athlete doesn’t necessarily win every time because there are so many aspects to take into consideration – where you place your shots, when you decide to go for a hard or soft shot etc. It would be easy if it was just about running around and hitting a ball as hard as possible! But competition in sports is often more interesting than that because of this variety in strategy employed by the athletes playing against each other. Because tennis has been played professionally since 1877 , there have been plenty of chances for people to come up with new strategies and tactics which their opponents will not be ready for.
