Its one of the four chances that a team gets to move the ball. Theres 1st down and 10 yards. If they get positive yardage on that play, say 6 yards, its now 2nd and 4. If they get 3 yards on second down, its now 3rd and 1. Now they need 1 yard for a fresh set of downs (A whole new set of four). A First Down is whenever a team gets enough yards to pass the yardmarker (usually 10, unless there is a penalty or a negative play).
In football, you have 4 down or attemps to get so many yards, a third down conversion is where you failed to get the amount of yards on first down and second down then reach it on the third, making it first down again
In American football, four. In Canadian football, three.
Once a team gains possesion of the ball they are started off with ten yards and four downs. To get a first down the team must go the necessary ten yards in the four downs given. Sometimes more yards are added for them to go due to penalties by the team or from the team losing yardage during play. And sometimes first downs are automatically gained due to the other teams' penalties.
