I'm in 8th grade and I'm female and I want to play football. Yes I really want to try something new in freshman year. What do I need to do to be a football player?! I have a year to practice and get ready and I've looked everywhere and can't find anything. I really want to play football but since I'm a girl I need to know how to! Thanks in advance!I'm in 8th grade and I'm female and I want to play football. Yes I really want to try something new in freshman year. What do I need to do to be a football player?!

well you gotta learn the rules you gotta be tough you gotta be able to take a hit you gotta be able to make a hit prepare for really really tough practices people who are bigger, stronger than you (especially since you're a girl) you gotta be fast, aggressive have some skill be smart football is not an easy sport for a girl to play

Practise some drills on your own!

just ask the boys if they will let you practice with them
