ABSTRACT:
Football game for reduced size playing areas, especially indoor playing areas. The invention comprises providing a playing field measuring approximately 198 feet long by 84 feet wide, having markings thereon indicating boundaries, end zones and yardage markers. Two opposing teams, each comprising eight members, attempt to advance a football into the opposing team's end zone to score. The various rules of play of the present invention render it amenable to play in a reduced size setting. In addition to the side and end boundaries of the playing field, overhead boundary surfaces may be provided which restrict the height above the playing field which passed or kicked balls may travel, without striking the upper boundaries and becoming a dead ball. The upper boundary surfaces may comprise at least one vertically hanging flexible surface, such as heavy netting, suspended over the central portion of the field.
