I played on a fairly good football in high-school. We were known for hitting hard and were encouraged to do so except the time we played against a team with a girl on it. Like we were ruthless to the point that normal play had resulted in multiple broken bones throughout the year. We got stickers for laying people flat. All that went out the window because a girl was on the other team. Still won handily but there's no reason to handicap boys athletics like that
Bones shouldn't be getting broken, that's costing the families of the players money to have fixed, it could be a life ruining cost for most.
Then do not play football. That is a risk you take if you do not have the size and muscle to play. Football is not patty cake. If you do not or cannot hit the gym and learn proper form at practice then expect to get hurt by someone who has.
The potential costs and risks are still way too high for a school past time, especially considering that due to our child labor laws you couldn't even expect the kid to start paying off his medical debt to his parents while he still lives with them and is completely dependent on them.
I mean that's just a good reason why not everyone should play and normally a responsible coach would have already weeded those people out. It's also reason number 1 that women shouldn't play football with men. Even low tier men are far stronger and have far higher bone density than an athletic woman
Also this is a bit late but my state or at least my school did not allow you to play athletics without insurance. Although to be fair I did play my senior year with no insurance.
