well maybe your a little light but your young and you can always hit the gym....and 100 yard in 11 seconds is damn good man........thats like 12 or 13 seconds in 100m....the world record is like 9.87 or something.....now either way my friend if you play football your gonna need that ability to take a hit because your definetly gonna get hurt.....its the name of the game\n\nbut to figure out what you wanna do then you have to ask yourself what you wanna really do.......do you wanna tackle ppl and make interceptions or do you wanna score and have glory\n\nnow the higher level of competition you get the more the coaches dont try you out in different positions and you have to pick yourself....i had to do that and didnt like it becasue i got cut lol....i probably had more talent at running back but i tried out for defensive back and wide receiver.....learn from my mistake.....dont worry about getting cut or force yourself to do a position you dont truly love.....do the position that you feel most comfotably in unless the coach says otherwise\n\nnow the different positons are:\n\nquarterback: throws the ball and manages the offense....usually the team leader\n\nrunning back is divided in two....fullback and half back...fullback usually really big and is the lead blocker for the half back who is usually the main runner of the team...the running game and also both running backs catch short passes\n\nthe receivers are the usually the fastest players who run routs and catch all sorts or passes\n\nthe tight end is usually a big guy who is half wide receiver half offensive lineman.....they sometimes help out and block but most of the time they catch intermediate distance passes in the middle of the field\n\nnow the offensive lineman and the defensive lineman are the biggest on the field.....offensive blocks the defensive lineman when their trying to rush the quarterback\n\nthe linebackers are in the middle of the defense and usually stop the run or cover receiver in short yard situations \n\nand the defensive backs are divided in two....safeties are the last line of defense and stay back in coverage....the free safety covers the deep passes and the wide receivers and the strong safety stay closer to the linebackers for run support or cover the tight ends........of course there are exceptions and its not always like this..........and finally the cornerbacks cover the receiver directly and usually follow them everywhere on the field\n\ni would suggest with your size and speed and you say your small that you play corner but i never liked it because you have to backpedal a lot and you have to be quick to react and not just fast because you dont know where the receivers going\n\nsafety might be too hard for you the first year because you have to know all the receivers routes and stuff more and know the passing tree\n\nand if you wanna be on offense then you might wanna be a half back because you run and if your quick then you could be like the next barry sanders or you could shake the defenders easily\n\nor you could be wide receiver because most of them are really tall but there are shorter receivers that are quick as hell but make it.....like joey galloway or steve smith.....but you have to be able to catch and run precise routes\n\nfinal thouht get buff work out at the gym and find out what you love and what positon you would like but when working out at the gym dont lose any speed because speed is very useful and speed kills\n\ngood luck

depending on what position you want to play you can accomplish it.\nyou said you are over weight you can use that to work towards being one of the line man. or guards\nif you want to play wide receiver or corner backs less weight helps, muscle and strength helps in being a running back or line backer or tight end position.

HMMmmmm\n\nMy answer is - you play where the coach puts you.\n\nwhy??\nBecause Linebacker and Safety - both being suitable to your size - require a lot of football knowledge that you lack...otherwise you wouldn't ask the question.\n\nThere are some teams that are so low in the leagues, or so diminished in skill level, they might actually consider you for a linebacker position.\n\nWith your strength and size...if you were on my team, I would start you at Defensive Tackle...unless you ran the 40 in something like 4.4 - then I'd put you at Defensive End. \n\nYou have a lot to learn about football first...and the way my Defense is set today...you might just end up on the offensive line.

Jags are not a big offensive team like the Bears can be. I would start the faster more experienced Dolfins D. The Vikings are looking to have trouble against Berrian and Moose on the courners and Jones will pound the ball like he does so well.

yeah, free flow is good. if your team playing defensive, fine, let them. or you can change the formation into 4-2-4 this way, you can play attack football and defensive at the same time. don't pass the ball through the midfielder, use long shots. haha.... hope it works

linebacker is a tough position its all about making reads you need to pick up on stuff like how the guard is blocking the play which side of the offense is the strenghth, how many backs are in the backfield, and you need to be able to pick up on wing backs.  Also once you recognize this you need to make calls to let the line know everything you know.  also on run plays you need to be able to fill up holes.  But i would still say go for it i played it through high school and had a great time.  YOU JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING ON THE FIELD BECAUSE ITS TOUGH TO PLAY IF YOU SRE CONFUSED OR GUESSING AT WHAT PLAY THEY ARE RUNNING

Just keep it simple,dont try and do too much,your part of a team after all. A 5 yard pass to a team mate is better than a 40 yard pass to an opponent. \nBest advice i was ever given,ENJOY THE GAME

It sounds like you should play defense.  I'd say the point.\n\nThe point's responsibility is to mark first home. She should be able to stick check, body check and look to intercept passes.\n\nIf you can run fast (but maybe don't have endurance), you could play the counterpoint or the third man.\n\nCheck out laxpower.com for more specifics on the positions:\nhttp://www.uslacrosse.org/the_sport/womens_rules.phtml

The speed an strenth is great, as it is the natural requirements for the position. However one of the most important parts of being a good WR is proper route running. I would highly suggest you get with one of your coaches ASAP and have them work with you on how to run routes correctly. It sounds dumb, but there's more to it than you would think. Also, you need to learn the blocking schemes for your offense, and also proper blocking techniques, if you've never played before. You may want to check out the following link  http://www.nflhs.com/TipsDrills/gettingStarted.asp\nIt is the NEL's high school site, and has quite a bit of information, especially for newer players.

It sounds like both coaches are allowing you to play, but one is worried about injury, and that is not dumb.  I happen to on the coaches with this one.  Coaches want to win and I'm sure they'd love to have you on team if you can help them win.  During 6th grade youth football, I played Left Tackle and blocked for a Female Quaterback that led our team to the league championship.\n\nIf you have really want to play football you should try out.  I would first weigh all the factors though.  You would almost undoubtedly have more success at other sports, especially at a high school/college/professional level playing for a women's team.  Unless you are exceptionally big or strong for being a female, you will be at a high risk for injury, as is any male would be.  We had a great running back in youth football but he weighed only about 120 pounds and broke his leg- twice.  Also, one position women fair well at is kicker... do you have some talent there?  In high school, a lot of gals can be competitive as a kicker.  Much harder to be competitive at any other position though.\n\nMost girls who play football either play at a pre-high school level or are in a unique situation (either physically huge and athletic for a female or have a strong leg and become a kicker).  Always exceptions though.

Hmmm.My mentality in Football(sacceer) is the best form of defence is attack.

You're about 5'7" and maybe 125 lbs. (for those who don't do metric measurements) - you need to grow a couple of inches (or 5-6cm) and put on at least 60 lbs. (or about 25-30 kg) to even be considered for an NFL spot. Go see a doctor and a nutritionist before you attempt these things on your own. And you would probably have to work on your speed.\n\nNow if you want to play college football, you'll most likely have to catch on with a smaller school (not a Division I program), and if you are able to make tackles, you might be able to play on "special teams."\n\nIn short, you should make sure you have a back-up plan - even with small schools, the chances of making a team aren't great unless you have at least one phenomenal skill a team can use. Having "heart" will only go so far. Good luck.

Zone blitz. Have one of your DEs back into coverage and blitz two of your LBs. Very confusing to the opposing QB.
