I'm sorry to say you would only last one play and then end up as a little spot on the field where you took the first hit.\nTry Little Gridders if you are young enough.

Well, the first question that need to be asked is, do you like basketball?  If so, how much?  Are you willing to follow the NBA, just as much as you have with American football?\n\nIf the answers to all of these questions are "Yes," then your on your way to having an interesting season with your team.  Just remember to read the rules of the game.  Everything will take off from there.\n\nJust give it some time.  Hope this was helpful.

My question is, why isn't the coach utilizing the skills you DO have?  If you are 100 pounds lighter than the other players, I have to believe you have an advantage in speed.  If blocking isn't your strong suit, perhaps a speed position IS.  Agility and speed are just as important as size, just in different positions.  At 13, your body is still growing, and size will come with age.  A good coach would realize this and use you to your true potential by playing you where you are effective, NOT where he feels the need to change you.  Hand speed, foot speed, and agility drills are where you will shine, NOT blocking some beast on the line.  Good Luck!

That's a very decent 40 speed, I'd suggest Running Back if you're looking to play offense.\nYou're going to be one of the smaller young men on the field, but that can work in your advantage, too.  Tuck in behind a lead blocker to get through the line then turn on the jets and you're making yards.\nBut if you're like me and favor defense, your size and speed are aligned with Corner or Safety.  While the linebackers go in on blitz, having someone quick to cover a quick pass is a huge benefit.\nGood luck with your game, Friday nights are a blast!

These size numbers depend on the type of player you are. A quick, speedy finesse wide reciever can be as little as 5'8 140 depending on the strength of the team's football conference. If your specialty is jumping up and grabbing it from the defense, you might want to be around at least 6'2 180. Cornerback is much the same. A quick cornerback should be around the size of the small wide reciever. A punishing, open field tackling cornerback should be as large as the wide recievers you intend on guarding in your teams football conference.

"i run the 40 in 5.2-5.4 sec."\n5'6 tall??\n190 pounds\n\nsince you are 5'6 tall you cant go for WR.. and looking at your forty time it is not really what a rb would run... Usually running backs run a 4'5--4'7 fortys... and i dont see you playing lineman at 190 pounds.. usually they are 230-290 pounds and bench allot..i dont know dude the only position you can play is like linebacker but that requires allot of power and you need to be a hard hitter.

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.

our rb runs a 4.5 fourty and is 160 pounds and all muscle he has no fat the best idea for you to do is bench press like he did he benches 135 22 times amazing for his weight \n\njust bench press and work on your triceps to stiff arm people and do squat for your legs to break tackles and you will be varsity in no time

Without seeing you play, or perform even drills it is impossible for anybody on this board to tell you what position that you would be best suited to play. Alot would also depend on the type of defense your team plays. I you in an even front (4-3, 4-4, or even 6-2) or do you play an odd front (3-4, 5-2, or even 5-3). Does your team play an attacking 1 gap style or a more read and react 2 ga pstyle. \n\nWe don't know how strong or quick you are. We don't know the leve lof competion or size of the players in your league and team. On all but the biggest of HS football programs, 6 ft , 230 lbs is large enough to play Defensive line, OL or LB. \n\nBe aggressive, continue to work out, and havew faith that your coaching staff will put you in the best position to succeed and have your team succeed.

If you are serious and can get some local support, contact the people at this website (see the link).  It would be a semi-pro league and the guys who play do not get paid, they do it because they love the game.  Not sure if they do anything outside of the US or not but they may give you some guidance.\nhttp://www.semiprofootball.org/\n\nYou could not form a team and compete in the NFL league because it is a closed league and teams must buy their way in by purchasing a franchise(BIG $$$$$$).  You would have to compete with many American cities they are already begging to have an NFL team and spending hundreds of millions of dollars building stadiums for the teams to play in.  Also, contrary to the opinion of many jealous Europeans, the players in the NFL are HUGE and very skilled.  An average linebacker (not the biggest guy on the team) weighs about 260lbs (118.2Kg).\n\nHope this helped.

Well Justin\nSounds like you should be a shut down corner, you have good size and speed for your age. but if you want to a better team player you should give it your all everyday and play were your team needs you. If you haven't played before it is best to tell the coach that you will play any position that is best for the team. Oh yea and start hitting the weight room that to will help you.\n\nI hope this was some help And hope to see you in Latrobe in about 10 years with the Steelers you never know!

You are the same height that I am, it's not a problem.  Your fighting style will be different than a tall person, that's all.  My screen name is the nickname that my fellow karate-ka gave me.  MightyMite  Rank-Nikyu  Have fun!

You should practice both positions and see where you are most comfortable, then tryout for that position. Bottom line is the coach will probable make the decision for you.

I don't think that you should take the tackle or guard from your mind as other posts tell. the guy is still in high school and his body is still growing and not in final shape now.  I think if you do your best in jogging and weight training, plus having a very good and balanced diet then you will make a hell of a guy for tackle or guard. because your gonna be having a good weight that you've gained through workout, and its a muscle weight not fat. I say good luck with your training and do your best in your high school years because your in an age when your growth hormones are pumping and you can grow and benefit like crazy. I wished that I had more athletic activity at that time because the body you gain through these 3 years will help you for ever.
