Here in America touch football was invented the mid-nineteenth century with the first college game taking place in 1869. It was in the twentieth century that touch football gained in popularity.
The first College Football game played in 1869 used the rules modified from the London Football Association. Over the next few years as the game gained popularity the colleges began to favor the rules of Rugby over the rules of soccer. The game as we know it today evolved from the game of rugby.
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.
If a team gained 5 yards on their first play of the game and lost 6 yards, the total change in yardage is 1.

A first down :P
the receiver who first catches the ball gets credit for the catch and the number of yards he gains until he pitches the ball. The player whom the ball is pitched to gets credit of the yardage he gains from the moment he gains control of the pitched ball to the moment he gets tackled. He does not get credit for a reception though. All total yardage is counted as receiving yards and no rushing yards are gained by the either player. the QB gets credit for 1 completion and all total yardage gained by both players.
College football was the venue through which American football first gained popularity in the United States. College football remains extremely popular today among students, alumni, and other fans of the sport.

A loss of yardage in football is when someone on the team holds the football in his/her hand(s)/arm(s) and someone on the other team tackles the person with the football before the person with the football can advance across the line in which the play started. For example: the team with the football start on the fifty yard line and they need to advance the ball to the forty yard line for a first down. The football gets snapped to the quarterback. The quarterback has two options: run with the football or throw the football to someone on his/her team so the team can attempt to get the ball across the forty yard line. The quarterback notices that someone on the other team is running at him/her and runs backwards to the forty yard line. Before the quarterback has the chance to either run with the football or throw the football, the person tackles the quarterback at the forty yard line resulting in a ten yard loss.
