How to play football?

How can I convince my parents to let me play club level football?

• I played my first year of football with my school and ended up earning a starting position after 2 games. I broke my wrist in the 4th or 5th game though and that ended the season. I'm 15 years old, 6'4", 185 pounds, play wide receiver, and could do very well playing football at the next level which is in the OVFL (Ontario Varsity Football League). My parents however think that it;s too dangerous for me to play with the club and won't let me. Nothing I say seems to work, my dad says that playing with my school is enough. But football is my favorite sport and I can't get enough of it (I told him that, it didn't work). They are paranoid that I'll get a concussion, however they let me play rugby and football with my school. They seem to think that playing with a club will be much more dangerous. How can I convince them to let me play?

• Answer:

  Have you tried asking them if you can go and watch. After they see what happens there they might be more likely to allow you to play. Also you could ask the coach maybe if he will speak to your parents (also tell you parents to have talked to the coach LOL) and ask him if he will tell them about the club and so on.
