BR 1-03: The Story Of Football

Jones, R. (2007). THE STORY OF FOOTBALL. England: Usborne Publishing Ltd.

I read "THE STORY OF FOOTBALL". This book is written about histories of soccer and American Football. Over 2,000 years ago, the ancient Chinese made balls that were stuffed with goat fur. At first, players hit, bit and kicked each other. They even bashed each other with bats. However, in 1863, students from several schools and universities in England met to decide exactly how the game should be played.

At the end of the 19th century, rugby arrived in America. A man changed the size of the pitch, reduced the number of players in each team, and allowed players to pass the ball forward. American Football was born.

I could learn many things because this book's story was a new story to me.
