Each year, many players in all program levels are first-time players, so prior football experience is not a requirement.

There are no specific requirements for physical size and athletic ability. Football, through its application of specific positional play, is a game that can be played by a broad variety of body and ability types. The best thing a prospective player can bring to tryouts is a desire to play and a good attitude.
