[quote=Anonymous]At our school, seniors aren't allowed to play on JV. They are too physically developed to be safe playing with 9th-10th graders.  (Yes, I recognize that this is very individual and some 9th graders are bigger than some 12th graders - but as a general rule this tends to be true.)

Agree that he should reach out to the coach now. He'll find out what the policy at your school is, and get the coach's advice about how best to prepare.

My 9th grader has never played, but is interested in trying it next fall. He missed the window for the freshman team, so he'll be on JV if he does it.  He's doing workouts with the team now 1-2 times a week and plans to participate in some spring training.  He understands that he won't get much playing time at first - not just because he isn't good enough yet, but because football can be downright dangerous if you have a bunch of older teens on the field who don't know what they're doing. They really have to learn how to tackle safely, how to fall. [/quote]
