Backyard Football is a casual version of American football played in residential yards or open spaces. It typically involves fewer players than a standard game, often ranging from two to ten participants. The rules are flexible, allowing players to adapt them based on the number of participants and available space. Games usually focus on fun and friendly competition rather than strict adherence to official rules. Players often use makeshift equipment, such as a soft football and cones or other objects for goalposts. This informal setting encourages creativity and teamwork, making it a popular activity for friends and families.
