To be able to play sports it starts off with the grades. For most schools you have to have 3.00. Thats pretty hard to get but you can get if you study. Then you have to stay out of trouble. Don't hang around people that get you in trouble. I've learned that if you don't hang around with the people you wont get in trouble. the next thing is you have to stay active. Those are the main things you have to do to play football.
