    Explanation
    The person calling the plays and throwing the ball for a team on offense is called the quarterback. The quarterback is typically the leader of the team's offense and is responsible for directing the plays, making decisions on the field, and throwing the ball to the receivers. They are often considered the most important player on the offense as they are responsible for orchestrating the team's strategy and executing the plays effectively.

    What is the line of scrimmage?

    • The line at the end of the field that it is necessary to cross for a touchdown.

    • The line at the side of the field where the scrimmage players wait for their turn to play.

    Correct Answer
    A. An imaginary line at which the defensive and offensive players meet before a play begins.
    Explanation
    The line of scrimmage is an imaginary line at which the defensive and offensive players meet before a play begins. This is the line where the ball is placed at the start of each play, and both teams must line up on their respective sides of the line. The offensive team must stay behind the line of scrimmage until the play begins, while the defensive team must stay on their side of the line until the ball is snapped. This line determines the starting point for each play and is crucial for the execution of offensive and defensive strategies.

    A lateral pass refers to a pass in which the ball is thrown either to the side or backward from one player to another on the same team. This type of pass is commonly used in sports like football and rugby, where it allows for strategic plays and potential gains in yardage. Unlike a forward pass, a lateral pass does not advance the ball towards the opponent's goal line.

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The person on defense who runs to the quarterback and tries to get his/her flag is called the "rusher". This term is commonly used in flag football to describe the defensive player whose primary objective is to put pressure on the quarterback by attempting to grab their flag before they can throw the ball. The rusher's speed, agility, and ability to anticipate the quarterback's movements are crucial in their attempt to disrupt the offense and prevent successful plays.

    When you are receiving a pass, a very important thing that you should remember is that you need to _______   _______  _______ .

    Correct Answer
    love the ball
    catch the ball
    Explanation
    When receiving a pass, it is crucial to both love the ball and catch the ball. "Loving the ball" means having a positive attitude towards the ball, being eager and ready to receive it. This mindset helps in being focused and prepared to catch the ball. "Catching the ball" refers to the physical act of successfully receiving the pass, ensuring that the ball does not slip through your hands. Both aspects are important for effectively receiving a pass in any sport or activity.

    • 3

    • 7

    • 12

    • 10

    Correct Answer
    A. 10
    Explanation
    In American football, when a team is on offense, they need to gain 10 yards in order to achieve a first down. A first down is earned by advancing the ball at least 10 yards from the original line of scrimmage. This allows the team to continue their offensive possession and have another set of downs to try and score a touchdown or gain additional yardage. Therefore, the correct answer is 10.
