In football a team gets 4 tries to get a first down, but usually on the 4th try instead of going for it they kick it to give the other team a longer way to go to get a touchdown.

What is a first down and how do you get there?
A first down is the first of four consecutive tries or attempts at moving the ball 10 yards. If the team succeeds in moving the ball 10 yards or more, then the count starts over, and they get a first down. If they are not successful, they have to turn the ball over to the other team. Most of the time, the team will punt the ball on fourth down, thus giving the other team the ball after only three tries (or downs), but also getting the ball further away from the goal (end zone) that they are defending. In other words, it's better to give up a down in order to make the other team start their first down an extra 40 yards or so back from where they would get it if your team could not get a first down.

Why does a team punt the ball on a 4th down rather than attempt to reach a 1st down?
because it is safer, because if you dont punt it and go for the first and dont make it the other team has a beeter chance in scoring then if you would have punt it Football is a game of field position. If you try to make a first down on fourth down and fail, the other team will gain possession of the ball 40 yards or so closer to your end zone than they would if you had punted on fourth down. The situation of the game will dictate whether a team tries for a first down on fourth down. If it is late in the game and the team is behind, maybe they will try for a first down on fourth down. But almost always in other situations the team will punt on fourth down.
