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
It's not about size, in a physical sport there's always risk for injury which can be costly and even harm the ability to work in the future. Just your own body weight falling the wrong way can cause broken bones let alone the extra damage caused if there's someone tackling you.
