text: Football is a great extracurricular activity its a great way for you to be a team working athlete and student. the sport is great for what it is but it teaches you a lot of team work. Football is great for being stronger especially with all the training. most of the training is footwork, how to be in a proper stance and just making sure your in the end zone when they need you to be. Just because you play football doesnt mean they dont check your grades. Football coaches are always on you about your grades, your grades matter because you are a student athlete. the benefits of playing football is just making sure you have great time management because practices are long and might not have time to do all of your home work. i think football is great extracurricular activity
