How to play football?

How can I play football?

• I go to a private school that does not have a football team. I contacted the local public high school athletic director/vice principal and he said that I cannot play football there unless I am enrolled in that school. There are no leagues in the area, they all cap off at age 14. There are some casual flag football teams, but they are not real football teams that play real football. The athletic director of my school is trying to work something out with the athletic director of the public school, but if that doesn't work out, I can't play football there. Even if it does, I may have to wait a while until it is all said and done. Is there some other way that I can play football?

• Answer:

  You kind of answered your own question. You are checking your options. Keep your ear to the ground, and keep in shape. You never know when something might come up. Also, there is college. There have been players who stepped onto the field as freshman, and made the varsity later. If you absolutely cannot find a team now, and you want to play later, one thing you can do now is practice kicking. You don't have to have someone to hit, but you can still practice the skills. A good kicker will always get noticed. Good luck!!!
