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 we always seemed to have a pretty 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. Though they have win some and lost some, they won many times and would end up in the state-wide playoffs. Football was everything back then, and to my knowledge, it still is.
What is good about high school football is that there is usually something for everyone. Even the smaller boys may find something to do with football, eventhough most of the positions are for those that are taller and thicker. There are also things to do to support the team like cheerleading and the band. Football is a sport that most enjoy, and if a team is good, the whole town comes out to show support.
Because you only play one game a week, some think that high school football is one of the best sports. 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 asked to run, and spend some time bulking up a bit in the school weight room. High school football players also have to take time to learn plays and strategy, and there is not much time left for study. Even then, the marks have to be up to a certain point or team members might be barred from playing.
If your boy wants to play high school football, do all you can to cheer him, but do not let him forget that there is more to life. A teenager must have experience in a lot of things without school and football taking all their time. Every school knows that, and they do keep things on an even balance. However, a few trainers are trying to get students playing high school football 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. Having a passion is good and should be suggested, but not everybody is able to play professional football. Those who can\'t should have other interests when or if the football dream falters.
