Can someone play football in high school with no previous experience?

There is no requirement for a player to have previous football experience in order to play in the NFL. However, the chances of someone making a team without going through a college program are extremely slim. Without college playing time there is no chance for a scout to see you or your talents, and since no NFL teams have open tryouts anymore...

Additionally, without previous playing experience your lack of experience would create a tremendous disadvantage, regardless of how gifted an athlete a person was.

How does a schools football team become division 1?

by going to BASA, now BSA, and asking about joining the district competition. BSA may not agree, as you need a home ground, a uniform, and be willing to pay rent for your stadium, as well as fees. You will not become division 1 immediately. As a new club you need to start in the lowest division in your age group and work your way up. If you are blitzing the lower teams, you may be able to get a special request to be moved to a higher division.
