Think of a football-related word beginning with A, then one beginning with B and so forth No names of players or stadiums You have five seconds to come up with each word. If you come up with a non-football related word, or go beyond the five seconds allowed, you lose “possession” and the next team takes over Each word that a team gets right is awarded a point. The team with the most points wins. The referee’s decision is final on whether the word is football related or not.
