Blog#7: American Football!! (Nao Murakami)

   Hello, this is Nao Murakami. Today I would like to introduce you about American Football. Have you ever heard of or watch it? It is a kind of sports which is famous and popular in America. The reason I am introducing it is I belong to the American Football club at Gakushuin university as a manager and want more people to know about it and enjoy it.
   First of all, I am going tell you some rules. American Football consists series of downs. Players have their specific position, and try to get points by runs, passes, punts or field goal kicks. When we get points by runs or passes, which is called "touch down", we can get 6 points and another chance for getting point which is called "try for point". At first, it may sounds difficult because there are more rules, but once you understand them, it is really fun to watch games. Also, this sport is very dangerous because players tackle to an against team. In most games, there are some injured players, so most team has their team doctor or trainers, and sometimes there is an ambulance during the game. However, the games are very exciting and fun to watch.
    Second, I am going to tell you about our team at Gakushuin university. The name of the team is GENERALS. Our team is in a division 2 now. There are 36 players, 11 managers, 7 trainers and 5 analyzing staffs. We practice 5 days in a week, Wednesday to Sunday after school. It is little hard but I am really enjoying it. Our target is to remote to division 1.

This is the Promotion Video for Generals. I hope you will enjoy watching it.
 

To sum up, American Football is very exciting sport to watch and play. If you interested in it, please go to see the game! Also, there are many videos on youtube, so if you do not have enough time to go out to see the game, watch it on youtube!  I put one game here.

 
Thank you for reading my blog, and hope you enjoyed it!

  5. Hi, this is Ms. MacGregor. Thanks for your blog. What is the job of manager like? I wonder what kinds of things you have to do. Another question, if you don't mind me asking: how is the rank of the Generals among the other universities in Tokyo? I don't quite know what ranks 1 and 2 mean. I heard it was hard to recruit players for this team so I hope they can get good players and do well, and most of all, have fun!
