No pushing is allowed in this type of play. Play starts with a kickoff (a punt or placekick), usually taken from the 20 yard line or quarter yard line. The receiving team goes to offense after receiving the ball, and the kicking team is on defense. After each touchdown or field goal, play resumes with a kickoff by the team that scored. Teams can retain the ability to control the football by either gaining 10 yards in 4 downs, reaching the second yard marker in 4 downs, or reaching the next closest line if the field is marked in quarters, depending on the rules you wish to use. If there are no marks on the field, then a team can be forced to score in 4 downs. If one team can't score in 4 downs, then the other team takes over possession from where the other team left off. A team can choose to punt the ball if they don't think they can make a first down, and must announce that they are going to punt. The defense can not rush the kicker in an attempt to block the kick, and offense can not cross the scrimmage line until the ball is kicked. Fumbled balls are ruled dead, and possession is retained by the fumbling team. Playing time consists of two 20-minute halves, four 10 minute quarters, or whatever the time is allotted. Field conditions for flag and touch football should be flat and grassy if possible. The minimum size of the field should be 40 yards by 80 yards, and should have a perimeter of at least 10 yards around the field. If stripes are not marked on the field, cones may be used to designate the field dimensions. Equipment used can be as simple as a football (choose one that is suitable for the age group who is playing), flags, and pinnies to differentiate between teams. Outline of Fundamentals I.
