Most sports programs will encourage their athletes to start a training routine prior to organized practices to help minimize the first group practice. I know the program I have worked with informs the kids that they should be able to run at least two laps around the field and at least 50 push ups and sit ups. How you get to that state is up to you but working your way up is recommended.
Now as for your situation, you can try some ointments to loosen up the muscles a bit. Try some vapor rub although I'd recommend showering before heading to practice unless you plan to get picked on. You can pick up Absorbine Jr for sore feet (not sure if they still make it but basically an alcohol based liquid to penetrate and relax muscles too).
Make sure to drink plenty of fluids (a lot given the heat), eat some bananas to help with the potassium levels, and just work through it. After about two weeks, things will get easier (as long as you are working hard through the first two weeks).

You are NOT TOO SMALL. It is people who never play that say this. You are too small to play offensive line, but you can be a running back, wide receiver, cornerback safety, play special teams...and even quarterback. You say that you suck, that is because you have not played before. You can join the junior varsity if your school has one. A coach is there to teach, they will get you ready to play. Tell your parents again, or have them read this post. I played football and played in the pep band during basketball season. I have played all levels of football including pro, and coached at 2 different universities, so I know what can be done. You have about 6 months before the start of the next season, enough time to get up to about 140, or 145 putting on 6 to 10 pounds of muscle. Go for it, you have nothing to lose.

I remember those days very well. There is not much you can do except to take the discomfort for a few days until you body gets used to the physical abuse your body takes from football. As stated above, stretching will help and dont half *** your pre practice warm-up exercises.

Okay.
Drink all the water you can handle when you're not at practice. If you have a hot tub or jacuzzi, get in that as much as you can stand. Stretch whenever you're feeling tight, and try not to curl up too much. It'll make it harder to get cramps. Eating a banana will also deter cramps.

Suck it up kid. It's gonna be like this for EVERY practice. Get plenty of sleep and rest and get Vitamins and Minerals into your body. Football isn't no kiddy sport.

relax, stretch, and take a hot/cold shower
what you do is turn the water up to as hot as it can be without burning or really hurting. then a few minutes later, turn down the water to as cold as you can stand and repeat.

Suck it up kiddo. Get off the computer and do something productive. The rest of us are at work making money.
