Toe raises will help you get there, No fancy equipment needed, just get your toes on a 2x4 up and down. i think squat thrusts would hellp too.\n\nDamn 6'6 and you couldnt dunk?

You sound like a good player for the high school and college game. Just make sure you are totugh and have muscle on you. However when you get to college, it will be hard to get drafter if you are not very big. Take Mike Hart for example. Hes extremely tough and fast and is hard to tackle, but pro scouts just look at the 5'9 stat. But just be confident and i am sure you can succeed in the high school game.

Depends on your stature.  You said you're good at running and catching, so if you're tall and lean and fast, you'd be an excellent receiver, cornerback, or safety.  If you're a bit bigger, then go for a tight end or line backer.  If you're huge, you play on the offensive or defensive line.

First of all hi you sound awesome I'm about to be a senior and had similar dreams and everybody told me I couldn't do it because i was only 6'2 and white well just last summer I was the first Highschool kid from my school to enter in a dunk contest at a college that we were at camp for and I won the second round now I can dunk it easy with two hands.\nI can even three sixty but heres the kicker jump soles won't do squat maybe two inches at most!!!!! Trust me I have two pairs!!! They do nothing simply because contrary to popular belief jumping doesn't come from the calves it comes from your upper thighs don't believe me try this stand with your feet together and try jumping straight up but you can't bend your legs at all. Then bend your knees and allow your thights to pitch in how high did you get then you see what I mean so anyways the big secret to getting good hops is sqats and just plain old jumping try squatting and then jumping straight up about fifty sixty times a night every other day and then slowly begin to add more jumps each week stand under the net it will help motivate you to keep going cause youll want to get to yhe rim.. By the way smart move to stay away from ankle waits there extremely bad for you knee tendons and ligaments they'll stretch them Any ways you can do it I mean your already half way there so good luck!!!!! If you ever need advice or questions or encouragement just email me at bubbachillinintheeclipse@yahoo.com otherwise good luck you can do it.

What is necessary to be a good DT is penetration through the gap.  I would try squatting as it works on your burst which is beneficial for a DT to succeed.  You are young so I don't expect much but start doing that and you'll see a difference.  \n\nAlso, polymetrics is the place to go no matter what.  Go and google or wikipedia it and you'll find all you need to know.  It is key in burst, acceleration and explosiveness.  It will hurt a lot at first but it works so well!\n\nAnother underrated thing to do is go out and jog maybe a mile or two per day.  It increases your stamina which is one of the most underrated things in football.  It'll help you have a good motor all game.  \n\nDo not forgot to work out your arms of course but legs come first.

Jump rope.  That really helped my vertical jump when I did track N field.  I jumped rope every day.  Watch Nate Robinson in the NBA dunk contest.  he's your height.

Based  on your size and speed I would suggest Offensive Tackle and Defensive End.  I am 5'8" 165 and run a 5.1.  I'm a frosh and play D tackle and guard.

u have hops my friend.  u nee to get 6 inches above the rim to dunk though.  try doing lunges wit hdumbells or frog jumps.  these strengthen legs without adding extra bulk.  just hit the gym and stay in shape.

You never gave your height, which is a key figure against the pass.  You don't decide what position you play, your coach does.  You are heavy enough for high school, but 50 lbs shy of college and pro.  If you want to play college, you would be a CB with that weight.  Do not try to get fat to gain the weight.  You will end up moving like a slug, if your body doesn't like that weight.  Don't be too impressed with interceptions.  I've intercepted balls from a state champion quarterback even though I never played on the football team (it was P.E. flag ball).  They just can't get the power behind the ball and they aren't very accurate.\n\nLearn reads, learn postioning yourself against the pass, learn to prevent fake out,  practice stripping the ball, learn to stop the run and learn to tackle.  Once you get the technicals down, your stats should go up.  If you can't strip the ball from a 175 lb RB, chances are you are going to have major trouble with a 250 RB in college, if you plan on taking it to college.  You should look at the stats of college CBs (such as run times and weight), because chances are that's where they will put you.

good question...first off, stick to DEFENSE...if youve been playing it all of your life, then youre probably best at it. Plus, defenders are more valuable to a team then midfield. To get in to shape? easy, you just have to want it. Run every day around the block for about 1/2 mile or so, or any distance your comfortable with. Jumping Rope is also a good way to get in shape. Also doing wall-sits really helps. Push it everyday! Best of Luck To You!

your height has nothing to do with it. I'm 5'1" and believe me things work out. Libero would be a good position because of your height though. As far as drills, to work on your passing see if someone will throw you a few balls every night and just focus on that. Make sure your form is good. As for jumping, if you work your legs then your all set. Try doing 2 small jumps and the next as high as you can for about a minute at a time. It'll work your leg muscles and if you do it every day then it will help. Also  if you do squats and recently i've found if you give people piggy back rides, it improves your calf muscles. For backrow hits, work on jump serves. If you can back row hit you can jump serve. I guess that's the best I can do for ya..good luck

work on your reactions off the line, quad work outs really help with this. \n\nwork on your swim moves to get past offensive linemen

You probably will gain as you grow.  Two of my sons were about your size when they were your age (they played football too...I swear).  You are also a good weight for wrestling if your school offers it.  If you are not a more normal weight by 16, go see your doctor for a physical, but I suspect your size is more genetic than anything else.  BTW...how tall are you?

It depends on what position on the line.  The tackles are generally bigger, and the guards are a little smaller, but faster in order to pull and trap.  It can also depend on what kind of offense that your team runs, and whether or not you want to play at the next level.  I was the starting left tackle for my freshman team, and I was 5'10" 215.  Then for my Soph - Senior years i switched to guard because I was too short to play tackle at the Varsity level for my team, however i did bulk up too, i was weighing in at about 230lbs.  Our tackles were at least 6'3" and a few of them have gone on to play at Division 1 schools.

Ya of course you can. On my high school football team my team's MLB was 5'7 180 so i think if you are used to getting hit and not afraid of course you can play MLB or DE

speed - run up and down your team stadium. use leg weights if u can get em.\n\nsize - stick to the 4 food groups with plenty of fatless meats. learn multiple weight lifting exercises from your coaches since your probably in your offseason.\n\nits gonna take a LOT of commitment. alternate days working out cardio one then weights then cardio and so forth mon - sat.
