There is a short word that means "American football" in Japanese. It is supposed to sound like an abbreviated version, "ame futo" which sounds like "ah-may foot-oh" (American Football). There's not a great standard way to say "football" in Japanese, as the sport is not popular in Japan.
FF4: Actually, I knew someone from Japan (his dad was here in the states for business), his English was terrible, but somehow I could always tell what he said. Anyways, back on topic, I'm unsure how to say it properly, but I have narrowed it down. It's either "American footburo" or American footbuto", the way Kosuke (the person I knew) said it was "footburo" but I've also heard it as "footbuto". I guess it all depends on where you're from in Japan, due to slightly different accents.
A school's "sports day" is called 運動会 (undoukai) in Japanese.
It called 監督 (kan-toku) but we also say コーチ /kou chi/ so Japanese people understand if you say coach.
