Answer 1

Football would be difficult for you.  It is traditionally a guy's sport.  If you made the team, the other guys would probably go alittle harder at you to make themselves feel better.  In addition, some guys might not think a girl that plays football is really someone that they want to date.  The social challenges would be just as tough as the physical ones.  I am not saying any of the above is correct but just stating what I think would happen.  

As for basketball, you have a chance.  Get started now learning the basics of basketball.  Find a basketball camp and attend.  Maybe see if your family knows someone who has some basketball experience and would be willing to tutor you.  And make sure that you are in shape.  A sure fire way to get noticed at tryouts is to be in shape and come in first for the fitness tests part.  That shows coaches that you have determination.  With that determination, they will know that you are teachable and have dedication.  That is alot more than many kids today.
