well 5 years ago i taught about that myself and went about it . im over here in ireland and was determined to start a sunday league team with a friend of mine and develop a club so nearly six years on we are still going let me tell you now it is a lot of hard work and a lot of shit  you have to be fully committed to the cause and stick by it and when you get big people want to take what you have created so think long and hard about it .  what country are you in. check with your fa or local league and work from there if its like here you will have to do everything yourself and get very little help  but sometimes you sit back and say its all worth it we have young teams and all now so the future looks good we have a web site to that i made  myself for the players and supporters check it out for the laugh and let me know by signing the guest book cheers i wish u luck you will need it here is the web adress\nhttp//www.freewebs.com/sffc/      \nour proper domain name is comming soon cheers

I heard if you have parnters it'll take the load off a lil bit, but an average team will cost somewhere around 135 million for all the legal paper work, but dont forget you have to pay for players, coaches, trainers, ect... Thats another 100 million... But if I was you, I would buy a nobody team, and build them up... That way you profit the most in the long run.... \n\nIf your looking for a partner holla at me, cuz owning a team sounds like fun...

The key is speed.  If you are the fastest guy on your team, you might have a chance.\n\nBefore you start thinking about the NFL, you need to get into a college program.  Most NFL players come from Division 1 programs.  There are 115 Division 1A football programs.  This means you can fill the rosters of all the Division 1 programs with 1st or 2nd team All-State players at each position every year.  That is your competition.\n\nJohn T. Reed provides a lot of detail about going from high school football to college.  Take it one step at a time.

i'd say start with little league team or a pony league team.....then maybe asst coach at your high school, then i'm sure if you're as good as you say, you can probably get a gig at a college based on your head coach's recommendation.....

pay no attention to the haters....1st thing is scan over your local papers sports pages, theres always schools looking for coaches \n(head coaches, assistant coaches,etc.etc..) and announce them in the sports pages somewhere... if that doesn't work try contacting a local youth football league(pee wee or pop warner)\nthey are always looking for coaches--- if your good enough there word will get around,( alot of players parents know coaches, get it?)  if none of the above work, try getting out to some schools and watching practices as an observer, talk to the head coach or \nassistants maybe they can help you with someone they know, if all else fails, keep trying until you get the chance.. if you want to coach bad enough, just like if you want something bad enough\ndo what u got to do, to make it happen\n\nGOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!

1.) Do plyometrics (box jumping, etc.)\n2.) Do sprints\n3.) Start lifting\n4.) Go endurance running\n\nI'm not going to give you a detailed work out plan, because it would be a waste of both our times. If your coach is any good at all, then he will already have a summer football league up and running for players to participate in. Start there.

Is this through school?\n\nIf through the school there are organizations that can help with it.  Such as the big candy sales, car washes, selling flowers at the school which can be delivered, a bake sale, etc.\n\nIf it is through an outside group....\n\nYou can do some of the same things, but you can also go to businesses and ask them to sponsor your squad.  Which you will give them a letter of thanks and for their taxes (since it should be a non profit organization).  You can also have inexpensive t-shirts printed up where the team name is on the front and the back lists the sponsors.  You can probably get a tshirt printer to give you a break if you have them put their info on the shirt too.

Just pop down your local job centre, fill in a few forms, and hey presto!\n\nBasically, if you are not signed up with a club by the age of 14, you will never play high level football.

Oh boy - about a 1000 things come to mind in less than a second.  Here are a few thoughts to get you started:\n\nFirst, there are no magic answers and there are no guarantees.  You can do everythign you can to prepare in the offseason, but you may flat get beat by someone better than you.\n\nSecond - HS is 4 year program; be patient if you are a freshman.\n\nThird - be a team player; if the coach needs you somewnere else, accept that.\n\nStarters and stars are not made during the season; they are made in the offseason.  Physcial and mental preparation are king.  Don't expect to go into camp and be built into a starter.  I guarantee your competition is working in the offseason and so you must.\n\nIn the offseason:\n\npractice your skills seems the obvious answer, but just going out and throwing the football around isn't going to help you a whole lot.  You must practice with intent; you must practice with effort - one thing I tell my team is "You play like you practice".  Go ahead and write that down and tape it on your bedroom door and anywhere else you will see it every day.  \n\nThe first thing you need to do is open your mind and accept coaching.  That may seem simple, but if you have been doing something a certain way for a while and your coach wants to tweak or change it, you need to try.  For example, if you are throwing with a low release point (e.g. side aremed) the coach may try to get you to throw more over the top.  Don't fight him, listen to him.  There is a reason he is adjusting your throwing motion even if you have had past success your way.\n\nYou need to break the physical skills into the major components and practice those until you can do them in your sleep and then 'rep' them some more.  (In a triple option attack it takes the QB a good 300 to 400 repetions to get the two option reads down pat alone much less the pitches and the passing part of the game).  \n\nSome of the physical skills you need to break down and practice are: \n- taking the snap from center and push off from center\n- footwork for a 3 step drop, a 5 step drop and possibly a 7 step (if your system uses them) \n- your footwork for giving a handoff and misdirection plays that require you to change direction.  Much effort and emphasis is put onto passing and not enough on sound skills in the running game.  Passing is the single hardest thing to do in football even for the pro's.  In HS, I would venture to guess that the vast majority of your offense is predicated on the running game.  If you don't knwo the running game or can't make the handoffs, pitches, fakes, and misdirections quickly, you won't play. \n- Work on your play action fakes and learn to hide the ball on play action passes.  \n- Work on your throwing motion and accuracy.  (you can improve accuracy by thowing at targets such as hula hoops raised up to a reciever level or trash cans - don't accept aythign less than a bullseye).  \n- Work on opening your hips correctly when you come out from under center.  \n- Work on your footwork and your hips in yoru throwing motion.  \n\nWhen practicing a skill - for example, footwork coming out from under center.  Start with the first step (both to the left and to the right) and do it slowly every day in short sessions of about 25 reps each - get four sessions a day.  Demand perfection in yourself.  For example, Put tape on the floor to mark where you toe should hit every time on your first step.  Hit it everytime.  When you hit it everytime (about a 100 times in a row without missing), pick up the speed.  Rep it.  Add the next step - slow at first, then pick up the speed.  Form and muscle memory are more important than speed.  If the motioni is burned into your mind and body at slow speed, it will happen correctly at full speed.\n\n- Have someone film some of your practices and watch yourself to find errors.\n\n- Go to QB camps.\n\n-Do speed training.\n-Lift weights.\n-Get out with several rece

Your first move should be to walk into the coaches office and introduce yourself.  He will be able to help you determine where to focus...\n\nYou'll determine if you can catch, have speed and if you know how to run routes?\n\nStrength and height are meaningless if you can't catch the ball at wideout.  Also, it's not vital for you to know the plays so much as knowing the routes since the QB can tell you what to do on each play until you learn.  If you are unwilling to learn routes, maybe you need to go on on the other side of the ball.  If you can't catch or run (especially backwards!), then you can't be a cornerback since that is all you do (I played corner).  As a Defensive End, you'll be going up against some of the biggest kids on the other team AND the QB, who is usually the best athlete...if you feel you are strong enough go for it...\n\nMy advice is to start at WR...the team needs a bunch of them to run in plays, it's the easiest position since you only really need to know 10 pass routes to run and you usually go against cornerbacks who are only playing the position because they wanted to be WR's so you can beat them easily.\n\nGood luck!

What age level?  Get with your local newspaper and your local umpire's association.  You need both to get things started.  I started a league 6 years ago here for men, and it was a real pain getting more than 6 teams started that first year.  However, we found that there are teams wanting to play who are looking for a home.  Make contacts, and get the word out until people cannot help but to say, "Well, here comes that baseball league speech again!"  When they know what's up, they'll come.  If you build it, they will come...

You need a good head on your shoulders first. This enables you to make snap decisions that will put you in the play. I also suggest conditioning. I mean running ablility is a must. If you can't run you can catch or out run someone else. Agility and flexability is a must. You must be able to move in different directions in an instant. If you are not flexible you will be more prone to injuries. Other than this you need good hands. Your hands play an essential part of the game. You  must catch the ball, throw the ball and use your hands to hold someone to tackle them and even use them to push them off of you to get to the play or to gain yardage. These are a few things you should work on to be a good football player. Attitude, confidence, hard work, determination and being coachable will help extremely. I hope this helps. JT Lay

It might be hard to find ex-nfl or current nfl players. I would suggest you to go to 24 hours fitness and you can hire a trainer there. I remember my friend, ex-nfl running back, worked out at 24 hours fitness and he had a trainer there. When you go there, keep working out. Second, focus on where you play as your position like running back or wide receiver. Otherwise, you can try out for Arena Football League2. Other league scout will watch how you play before offer you a tryout. Good luck.
