Clubs--Gridiron

Information on gridiron clubs can be found under this Yellow Pages® heading. Gridiron football, or just “gridiron,” describes a game played within and outside North America. The term “gridiron” refers to the sport’s field of play that is marked with parallel lines that resemble a gridiron.  Although football rules differ by country, Gridiron can refer to several different types of football, or football rules.  Clubs might offer individuals to interact with others of similar interest, as well as to engage in the sport of football with other players.  Football, in this respect, is a sport that involves using an odd shaped ball in a series of defensive and offensive moves to score points via touchdowns.  A touchdown is worth 6 points, and also gives the offensive team a chance to score an ‘extra point’ via kicking a field goal.  Should they make it, they have then scored 7 points.

Gridiron football is different from other forms of various other rules. Walter Camp is credited with many of the rules that distinguish gridiron football from its older games. The game can also be played as rugby, or another similar game.  Each game has its own respective rules. While football described in the aforementioned manner is popular in such countries as the United States, Rugby is a popular sport among countries such as Australia and Europe.

Other variations of gridiron football are available as well, as noted in the following. American football, played on a 100 yard field.  Canadian football, which is more like rugby. Nine-man football, eight-man football and six-man football are varieties of gridiron football played with fewer players. In addition, several other variations are available as well, depending on what type of football club you’d like to join.
