If you have a local small-town football team, no doubt they are incredibly important to the community. However, given the fact that they AREN'T the best in the world and they ARE still in high school, you can usually get away with really getting in the action during a practice. It's a great way to get comfortable shooting football and learn about the game. Slap the 17-35 on and get close enough to smell the action (literally). Doesn't hurt to clear it with the coach, either - Just let him know it's OK for him to yell at you too if you get in the way. Just pay attention to the action while you're out there. They may still be in high school, but there are some big boys out there who could ruin your day on accident.
