High School Football Sports Season – Fun For Students, Parents and Community!
In the USA, high school football season is an exciting time for students. For players, preparation often begins weeks before the start of school. Practices start early in the morning and often for several days in a row. Football players prepare themselves for at least 10 games, usually one each week from the beginning of school until Thanksgiving. Some lucky teams will get to continue playing in the playoff season and championship games.
The high school football season also gives the whole campus a sense of school spirit. School colors are often seen in the hallways and on student’s clothing. Pep rallies led by the cheerleading squad with participation by the football team, band and other student groups are often a highlight of the week. Kids love getting time off from class to go to the pep rally!
