I had a hard time seeing the scoreboard and i couldn't see things like the signs the coaches give the captains like me. I am wondering is it possile to get a prescription visor in freshman football and if so where can I get it.

It is allowed under both high school and college rules to wear a prescription visor as long as there is no tinting/color in the visor.  I have had some difficulty finding a manufacture who will make prescription visors.  If you contact an optometrist who specializes in sports glasses or works with athletes he/she may be able to make you some.

Best of luck,
