Football

For some schools, high school football is the main attraction when it comes to sports, and those schools are very serious about it. I remember 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 was no shortage of those who wanted to play football. Though they won some and lost some, they won many times and ended up in the state-wide competition. Football was everything back then, and as far as I know, it still is.

What is great about high school football is that there is normally something for every member. 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 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 doing well, most of the town comes out to show support.

Some think that high school football is one of the best sports because you only play one game 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 take some time to bulk up a bit in the school weight room. High school football players also have to take time to learn strategy and plays, and that leaves little time for study. Even then, the marks must be up to a certain level or the players could be barred from playing.
