1. Who can participate?

Boys with good grades and physical ability. Any guy can really play football as long as

they actually have a heart to play and can maintain passing grades.

If you can do these things then football can be your sport.

“The reason women don’t play football is because eleven of them would never wear the same outfit in public.” –John Madden

When?

Football usually starts in the end of the summer and goes through the fall.

Normal practices start in the summer at the end of the school year.

Lifting and Offseason practices happen throughout winter and spring.

Where?

Offseason lifting is in the weight room. Offseason practices are usually in the gym. Football practices in the summer are on the

PND field. Games are at opponents stadiums or ours.

Why?

People love football and it teaches discipline, courage, and gives you physical and mental strength.

Football puts your body in great condition by testing you to your fullest.

After winning a football game there is a great deal of pride and respect even in the most intense of games.

“The road to Easy Street goes through the sewer”- John Madden

Time Commitment?

If you really have a love for football then all season there are things to do. Offseason, Pre Season, and Football season.

In the winter there are weight lifting’s at 6:45 in the morning with occasional other practices.

When summer starts there are practices everyday for 2 hours.

Games happen in the fall at times throughout the day.

“The game of life is a lot like football. You have to tackle your problems, block your fears, and score your points when you get the opportunity.” –Lewis Grizzard

Cost?

The cost for football is very high but there are many things you can do to shrink that amount.

It’s about 500 dollars for everything in football but all that can be paid off with fundraisers like Lift-A-Thon and Pizza Gift Cards.

The cost is worth it though because football is a lot of fun.

“Football is not a contact sport. It’s a collision sport. Dancing is a good example of a contact sport.” –Duffy Daugherty

Extra Stuff

Football shouldn’t be a regular sport you do, it should be something you really want and expect to excel in.

There is a lot to sacrifice to play and it’s not a walk in the park either.
