High School Football When it comes to sports, high school football is the main attraction for some schools, and those schools take it very seriously. I recall my high school was like that, and it seemed that we always had a very good team. Our basketball team never won, and the track team rarely had enough members to compete, but there enough of those who wanted to play football. Eventhough they won some and lost some, they often won many games and ended up in the state-wide competition. Football was everything back then, and as far as I know, it still is. What is good about high school football is that there is usually something for every player. Even the less small boys may find something to do with football, eventhough most of the positions are for those that are ticker and taller. There are other things like cheerleading and band, even though you aren't playing high school football when you do those things, you are doing the most to support the team. Football is a sport that most enjoy, and if a team is good, the whole town comes out to show support. Some students believe that high school football is fun since you only play one time a week. There is more to it though, a lot more. A lot of players have practice several days a week, if not after school each day. They are also being encouraged to run, and spend some time bulking up a bit in the school weight room. Those that play high school football also have to take time to learn strategy and plays, and that leaves little time for study. And the grades must be up to a certain point or they might be excluded from the team. If your boy is going to play high school football, do all you can to encourage them, but do not let them forget that there is more to life. A adolescent could experience a lot of things without school and football taking all their time. Every school knows that, and they they try to keep things on an even balance. But, some coaches are trying to get children to play high school football and to give up all their leisure time for the game. This is all right on a professional level, but kids have to be kids to grow up to be well-rounded adults. Being passionate is good and should be suggested, but not everyone can play professional football. Those who can't should have other kind of passion when or if the football dream falters.
