Since football is a contact sport, there are a number of penalties that govern the proper use of contact in tackling and other football actions. For instance, players defending or receiving a pass are not allowed to use their hands or bodies to contact their opponent in an attempt to prevent the other player from catching the ball while it is in the air. This is called pass interference. In high school and college football, this is penalized by a standard 15-yard penalty.
