Athletes who plan on making the high school football team typically take up the sport in junior high. This allows them to warm up to the rules, the game itself and the skills that are necessary to set up plays and score touchdowns. The skill level is not that high at this point, which is great for someone who is still trying to learn the basics. However, this should be treated as an opportunity to groom your skills and reach the top of your game before you get into high school.

Football camps are a great place to take your skills to the next level. You will get to meet and work with other high school coaches there. Players from other high schools in the region regularly attend these camps as well to reach the peak of their game.
Get information on summer football camps in your locality by contacting the local high school athletic department. Remember, you are going to these camps to learn the game, not to compete with players from other schools. -

Consider hiring the services of a football coach. Getting private lessons will allow you identify the areas in which you require more improvement and help you to overcome these weaknesses to become a better athlete. The coach will also give you physical training to make you fit for the game.

Keep practicing and working hard. You will need to focus on your academics as well while working on your football skills. A lot of schools drop players from the team if they fail to get a passing grade.

Try out for the football team once you get into high school. Be sure to show up for the tryouts well in time. Confidence and positive attitude are the key to proving your mettle. Do not give up on your passion if you fail to make the team in your first year of high school. Keep practicing and giving it a shot.
