Can someone play football in high school with no previous experience?

Answer 1

There is no requirement for a player to have previous football experience in order to play in the NFL. However, the chances of someone making a team without going through a college program are extremely slim. Without college playing time there is no chance for a scout to see you or your talents, and since no NFL teams have open tryouts anymore...

Additionally, without previous playing experience your lack of experience would create a tremendous disadvantage, regardless of how gifted an athlete a person was.

Answer 2

No. The only drawback to not going to college is that is the only place that an NFL draft scout will look to find new recruits.

Answer 3

You must know the rules and regulations of NFL, plus you must have played it regularly at beginner level.

Answer 4

No, but it's a good idea to get one anyway in case you become injured. Then you will still e able to support yourself.

Answer 5

Yes it happens all the time, some kids mature physically later than others. Most schools have a junior varsity so players can learn for a couple of years.
