Football is for ALL

Football isn’t just for star athletes.

It’s a place where ALL students belong.

From quiet introverts who find confidence to vocal extroverts who flourish as leaders and everything in between, FOOTBALL WELCOMES EVERYONE.

No matter a player’s size, shape, skill level or personality, there is a role for them on the football team.

Talk to your school’s athletic director or football coach about how your student can support the team.

Be sure to use the hashtag #ThisIsHSFootball whenever you share stories and photos about football on social media!
