Well if you play with friends a lot most likely you won't have the techniques learned from playing organized football.
I mean best advice: google to find teams in your area and contact the owners.
I can't speak for every team, b/c im sure different teams have different standards.
I CAN say not just anybody can play though, My team has 3 players that played arena football, 2 that just signed with arena teams, and 2 players that were on an NFL roster at one point. This isnt like high school, everybody on the team is well conditioned, and disciplined with hopes of being picked up by an arena team, or better. NFL scouts even come to games, we had Green Bay scouts there 3 weeks ago.
But if you think you can hang, contact a few owners and ask what they do in the offseason as far as holding mini camps, or try outs. My team has "mini camps" where high school/college players come and if you do well the sign you from that. It's basically a try out, but the team participates also. Kinda like training camp I guess, they practice with us, we (the team) do all the same things as usual learning plays and practicing, and when they are done the team will most likely stay the same, with a few of those guys getting signed also.
