Yard line
The solid lines at five-yard intervals that mark the distance from the goal line; at the start of a game, the ball is kicked off from the thirty-yard line.
Inbounds line

Football player
Football players’ protective equipment varies depending on the player’s role and position on the field

Scrimmage: defense
The defense tries to prevent the opponent’s movement toward the end zone by stopping runs and passes.

Scrimmage: offense
The offense or team with ball possession has four downs to gain 10 yards. If it succeeds, it is given another four downs; if not, the ball is turned over to the other team by means of a punt.

FOUR TRIES TO GAIN TEN YARDS
WHEN YOU TOUCH SOMEONE IS OVER THE PLAY….REMEMBER THAT.
