Try putting together your own game ever week or so. I am the same way, i like to play football and there is a game that goes on ever wed. across the street from my house, im not sure how much land you have, but maybe you can host one at your house every know and then.
Hope that I helped :)

well if you really love the sport, you should have gone for it. you could always see if they have another tryout. i used to play roller hockey. i was the only girl but i didnt let that stop me. i used it to my advantage.
but if you really dont want to play football because you are the only girl, you could try aother sport. lacrosse is simular to football and is for boys and girls. field hockey can be an agressive contact sport if played right. there are always options.

heyy if you really want to prove yourself and prove to everyone that girls can play football, work just as hard as boys can, and be good at it too, stick it out as much as you can. tell yourself you can get through the practices and people putting you down because thats what i think is getting to you. if you really really love the game like you say you do then try 110% and make the best of it because once your out there and playing im sure your going to be having a ton of fun like you always do when you play. if you think you cant handle it, then try another sport and stay active hope i helped soo much luck to you <3

I think if it means that much to you that you need to call the coach and talk to him and get back on the team.
If you want to play you will have to be tough. Not tough as in strong but tough as in determined. You WILL be the only girl. Other girls will make fun of you and you will take a ribbing from some of the boys. But, you have every right to be playing if you are able to and want to.
My son played football and one year a girl joined the team. She was very good. We live in a very small town and some of the boys' parents didn't take kindly to the idea. She was causing their sons to sit on the bench. Because she was better than they were. Since it is a small town and her parents owned a small business....they lost business. The other parents were that vindictive.
She did finish the season but never played again.
I tell you this because there are other girls who try. It takes a very strong minded individual to fly in the face of opposition. Some people could be mean to you if you play or harass you.
If you can get pass all that and play then I say go for it. If it will just be to much then that's OK too. It is a hard thing to do and no one will blame you at all.
Good luck to you. As an avid football fan, I am interested to know how it goes with you. :)
