Football is different than most high school sports because it offers 88 opportunities to participate in a game!
Teams need 11 players on the field at one time. Plus, between all the “teams” within the team—offense, defense, kickoff, kickoff return, punt, punt return, field goal, field goal block—there are 88 opportunities to contribute to the team’s success.
That’s more chances to play. More chances to make a difference. More chances to belong.
Talk to your school’s athletic director or football coach about your student joining the team this fall.
Be sure to use the hashtag #ThisIsHSFootball whenever you share stories and photos about football on social media!
