Well whatever you want to do but if you do decide to get bigger here is the best advice you'll get: If you go in the weight room DONT lift as much as you can. Really what you want is low weight high reps. You muscles get bigger by making them tired use low weight something thats easy to lift the first few times. Just keep on doing that and you'll get bigger. There's pyramids after that but thats after you work out with some consistancy.

I hoped this helped and if you have any questions ask. If this did nothing for you then let me pretend like it actually helped thanks

As MrMonkey states--- definitely don't go crazy with lifting as hard as you can. Low weights with high reps is where it is at! Also, do Not go jumping into lifting alone. Talk to your trainer, gym teacher, or football coach about your plans to seriously play in high school next year. They should be able to guide you in a safe yet productive way! Good luck!
