Should Ali Play Football?

So im 13 and im as tough as most boys my age or more tough. My Daddy has been wanting one of his girls to play football forever. (I have 2 sisters 5th grade & kinder.) It’s like that song All American Girl by Carrie Underwood.  I’m going into 7th. Would it help my social ladder go up? With out being a cheerleader. There is nothing wrong with cheer its just not my thing. my 2 younger sisters are all into the cheer, soccer and stuff but just not for me. :)  Should i play?????? Ali:) thanks:)

  • If you like playing football, then go for it.

  • i just finished my first football season and i can tell you that it was the MOST AMAZING time of my life, and the guys were really amazing, and they respected me, so i think you sound like a good girl to play the boys! good luck!!!

  • Ok thanks:)I think im going to. :)

    Ali – the best advice I can give you is to do what YOU want to do and not what you think other people would want you to do. Don’t worry about social status. It is far more important that you do what love than what other people think about it. Let us know how it turns out. :)>-
