Encourage your student to play football

When is the best time for your student to start playing football?

MIDDLE SCHOOL!

Why? Because most middle schoolers are new to the game. It’s a fun, low-pressure setting to explore the sport for the first time together. And it helps them build confidence at a critical time in their lives.

So, encourage your middle schooler to play football! It’s the prime time to get involved.

Talk to your school’s athletic director or football coach about your student joining the team. #ThisIsHSFootball

Why is football for everyone?

If you’re thinking about playing football for the first time, you’re in good company!

Football sign-ups are coming, and the NFHS wants to remind everyone that player protection is always the number one priority.

As the 2024 high school football season comes to an end, it’s the perfect time for your student to start thinking about their future on the field.

This high school football season has been truly remarkable!

Your community can be vast. It could span city streets, rural roads, different counties—even state lines. But on Friday night, that distance is measured in yards.
