If it's for a pickup game, then there would be a reason guys wouldn't want to play against you. Guys are generally much stronger, and bigger, therefore, most guys would not want to really tackle a girl in football and hurt her badly, which there could be a great chance of happening. So guys would have to play lightly, which then takes away from the real competition. If you;re talking about playing on a highschool football team, you could use your legs, which many girls have strong legs and practive kicking a football. So that you can tryout and make it on the highschool team as a kicker or punter, since kickers and punters rarely get touched in the game, because it would be a penalty and the ball usually gets kicked within seconds.

First off, rules for high school may vary by state. When some guy says there is a rule against it., ask to see the coach. There probably isn't, but you never know if the, say, Montana State Atheltic Association or something has an old rule (right after a rule about how hard the leather in helmets must be.:))
The main concern of the coach would/should be are you the best at the position. Say you are a guard, can you block better than the other kids?
Last I checked a penis was not used in blocking.:)
If, more likely, you are a kicker/punter the issue is do you kick further/ better hangtime/ more accurately / etc. Again a penis is rarely used in kicking.
How do you show the "guys" giving you a hard time? Play better than them. If you are, say, a punter. Pinning the other team within their own 5 is good.:)
If we are talking pick-up games, you are out of luck. I can see why guys would be reluctant (or worse, eager:)) to tackle you.

Sorry there arent any girls football camps and like some of the other people said most girls are not as big, strong or as fast as boys so you may have trouble unless you are really good. You can try if you want to play but I wouldnt recommend it.

Just take a football and show them if you really are good...Of course, being the only girl among boys could mean trouble...I mean, like someone said...putting it differently, if they hit you, then they might hit ON you...Depends on how you feel about that I guess...

ok PLEASE do not disgrace men by playing football. It makes me SICK TO THE BONE when i see a girl on a football league. LEt guys play football.You should join ballet or something. Because if you're doing it to meet guys, then they're jsut gonna hate you cuz you're being a poser by playing football.
Sincerely

most football camps are unisex but you gotta call in and it depends on your age
if you are tring out for a high school varsity team with no real experience good luck
but if its like b&g club, i had a girl on my team once

knock them on their asses. when they get back up, knock them on the asses again. then score a touchdown.
when a play pickup games of football with my friends i am typically hesistant to let girls play with us. however, we will usually give a girl one chance to play with us and if she can hold her own we let her play more games. there have been a few girls that have been physical enough to keep up with us. so if the guys give you a shot just make sure to make the most of it and knock them on their asses.

sorry but you cant play, its programmed in a guy NOT to EVER hit or tackle a girl, some do it but we think of it as dishonorable no matter what the case, plus girls frames are weaker than mens. i just cant imagine a girl go head to head with ray lewis or anyone else, you can DEFINATELY try basketball though
