Well i am wondering because i really love football and i will be starting my eighth grade year. i never played on a middle school team.... my older sister is in collge but she played in both her seventh and eighth grade year she was a starter for offence and defence. I really want to in my eighth grade year but right now i am playing volleyball(that i don't really like).i am short and weight only about 126. I love football but i don't know what i should do....Do you think i can or not?

Of course you can what's stopping you? I play Varsity Football for a Division 1 High School Football Team. And I have 2 girls on my team. They both play WR and both Pretty Decent. And like you they aren't tall, but they have a lot of heart. You should definitely go for it. Especially if you're playing a sport you don't like.

well...clearly if you love the sport, then you should do it....but the only problem is, something tells me that you wont likt it as much when you get tackled my a 200 pound linebacker. the coach may not want a girl on his team because girls are a littlw more fragile. but i think that if you go talk tot he coach and ask his if he would have any special requirements for a girl playign football on his team (such as weight or diet), and then follow what he asks of you you should hbe able to make the team...if he says no, then start complaining about him beeing sexist and then believe me, he'll let you on

Definitely go for it! If you have the desire, then your school will make the arrangements. Of course, there will be doubters and naysayers, but all you can do is do what you want to do and enjoy it now. Finally, at 126 lbs., you really won't be that undersized for being in middle school, so you'll be just fine. Good luck!

There is no problem joining a game or any team. As long as you like it follow your heart and dreams to make your goal succesful. everybody is allowed to play or join a game. just always be careful in playing football. -meninblack0032@yahoo.com

If you are fast play running back because it will be harder for people to get you because you are small also there is no harm in just asking your coach if you can play since it seems you really want to.

you should try..i mean no harm in trying. its true, a girl can play football just as well as a guy. dont let rude comments get to you. football isnt gendered and maybe you will inspire other girls to get outside the box.

If YOU really want to play. It may be worth all the hassle if it is your passion. If not, it's not worth your time and energy. Be sure you know what you are getting yourself in to.

Well, you CAN. It's the law.
Good luck to you if you do -- I imagine you'll encounter a lot of resistance from male teammates.
