Try using the wishbone formation more often, if you are so desperate (as we can sense) review some of the college film and teams like Nebraska that i recall are use to run the option in a lot of the game plays.\nAlso just throw the ball only to RBs and Tight ends ocasionally, your receivers need to be mainly for blocking schemes.

I hope you already play on a high school team or else it's probably too late for you to ever make a college team.\n\nDo you know any quarterbacks who would go to a field with you and throw you some different type of passes with you running some basic patterns.\n\nYou will have to be able to catch balls that are thrown very quickly and hard.\nThen even if you can do that like many other guys,you will have to be able to hang on to the ball after getting hit hard by a defensive back.\n\nThis is where many fairly good athletes fail to make it because not everyone can take the hard hits after catching the ball.\n\nJust get out and play as much sandlot or touch football as you can.\nIt's best to practice with someone with a good throwing arm who will help you get used to catching well thrown balls.\n\nIf you can do this then go and try out for a high school team if you are in high school.\n\nAsk the opinions of a coach or any friends you have who are already on the team.\n\nGood luck I hope you make it.

Play everything, because high school and Jr. High are fun like that.  I ended up playing running back and free saftey but on JV and C team I played D-line, tightend, reciever, QB get a feel for it all that way if you want/have to play a different position at the college level it's not that brand new to you. I was a lil guy in Jr high and high school 5'7 155 after I got to college I grew but do it all man. Don't limit yourself to just one sport do swimming, tennis, hoops all that skill pays off in the long run, And youre 12 what else do you have to do.

Good luck with this guy...he won't listen to coaching...I watched him closely last season...out of position to make the play very often...he freelances too much, he's lost some speed, he can't cover recievers that well, and he pouts when things don't go his way...overpriced at any price....

John Booty,on this guys senior year he was easily the best high school qb in the state of louisiana..they go the 5A championship every year..plus he is a third gen qb with a family to live up to...he nearly took every snap in high school(shotgun/option)i hope he red shirted cause he should lead USC to their next bowl game

Ben doesn't have the weapons he had last year and the year before. A good running game makes it easier for the QB to complete passes. The Steelies don't have that running game anymore.\nOf course he needs you. Just keep stalking him, he will give in eventually.

He will be a great help for the first year and a half.  Once the Boy's start losing and he not getting enough touches watch out!  They need to find him a Qb that can get him the ball.  Drew will be to busy getting hit to be able to find TO.

Get stats, the teams' record and how far they went in the play-offs.  \nIf you can interview the coach.  Ask the coach questions like: which player is the most improved from last season? What do you think is the strength of the team? (get names and last years stats to back it up)? Ask about any surprise underclassmen. \n\nThe Quarterback and runningback stats are a must.  Also the leading tackler (or sacks) on defense.  For the QB Yards and Touchdowns are most important (if the QB had like 35 TD's and 3 interceptions mention that, that's a good ratio).  For the running back yards and TD's too.  \nMention the under classmen that did well this season (get this from the coach) and be all super excited that they'll be "returning next season to lead the (school mascot name here) to another winning season."  You have my permission to use that line.\n\nIf you only get a paragragh, then only mention the scorers on the team and the positive from the previous season.  But if you get more, be through and a little more detailed.  Ask the coach when in doubt he should be more objective than the captain of the team, who may just want his name in print.

ok well do u want to stay on the team? Do you really care about the sport? and your school pride? \n\nHere is what i would do. If you want to stay on the team make that very clear, in high school effort is really important. If your coach sees that you are TRULY trying to get better and make your team better he should keep you. Also talk to your coach on what you can do to be a better ball player and what you can do to help the team. He will respect you for that.\n\nJust my 2 cent

no You have three quarterbacks already, you do not need another one. I know that Hasselback is injured right now, but you should be able to look on the waiver wires and pick up week to week replacements until he comes back. Some of your players should be dumped. I f I were you I would try to trade James ASAP he is not going to do anything behind the Arizona offensive Line.

Talk to the school. I am sure they have scholarships or grants or loan available. Can you play football? You did not say if you were a boy or a girl. Why not talk to your school consoler? If you were smart enough to get in there has to something. Please don't give up.  I wsh you all the best.

well considering that your receiver is just back from surgery why don't you run the ball more. and maybe pretend to throw it and then to a quarterback sneak. you'd be surprised how much you can fool the other team but don't do it so often cause then the other team will catch on. get your receiver in the game and just throw the ball to him and make him run it out of bounds until you reach your end zone and then just sneak it into the end zone...believe me it works

Man, I was going through the samething with this really obnoxious girl once. I feel your pain. my plan of dealing with people like him is to stay clear of them. It might not be easy at first but once you keep avoiding and stay clear of him overtime he won't be a problem, and talk to your teacher about changing your seat, tell him/her that you have problems with this kid and that you don't get along with him that should help, and if that doesn't work well, you before taking things into your own hands try the plan first.

Just ignore him and keep hanging with your friends.  If he keeps it up then maybe you should go talk to the principal, even though it's his dad, he still has a responsibilty for other students in the school!

Respectfully ask the coach for a private appointment and ask him if he can tell you why he didn't make the cut.  \n\nAsk him for pointers, tips, help and if you can still participate in practices as you would like to improve so that you are maybe played later int he season.
