Should I do highschool football to get in shape/have fun?
As long as you can accept the fact that unless you are truly dedicated (based on your description you are not) you might not see much time then I say go for it. Learning the game even in a bench role and enjoying the extra time hanging out with friends is never a bad thing. You will get in better shape and if you like the guys you are on the team with then it seems all your personal goals are met. Guys who are on the varsity generally arent there “for the fun”, they enjoy the game but they are very serious about it and that can lead to some pretty “un fun” moments. So varsity isnt for everyone…be up front with the coach and just go straight to JV and have fun and learn from the experience.
