what does it take to be a varsity  WR or wide resever?

im not sure what you need but im guessing that you need to be fast, tell (over 6') and probably be able to catch 9 of 10 balls thrown to you..it all depends on your football team though.  If they are good then their standards would be a little higher.

4 Years Varsity in High School\n\n2 Years so far in College.\n\nHasn't gotten any easier. I have played many many sports on a team and water polo is by far the hardest. Never gets its credit.

Practice and an undying will. Recievers like terrell owens catch a 100 footballs a day so get to work thats about 700 a week start counting. It's just like anything else if you do it enough it becomes automatic. Lift some weights too so you can escape the jams the good recievers will be able to. my plan is to eat a steak and potatoe a day to put on some weight then i do about 200 push-ups a day so get to work don't be a punk and slack off either there are so many recievers right now this is a competition no matter what situation you better not quit or else you going to let me and every one else down but by no-way do slack your school work so chap chap. Alright ain't good enough and if you slow don't quit and if short don't quit have faith anything is possible you will see.\n\nMy cousin in my oppinion was the coldest football player he let it slip away if you smoke stop don't let it burn away yo dreams and watch out for girls too but you know get ya freak on and don't forget running routes is crutial too. So run about twice a week and stretch alot when you can do the splits you got good agility and to make your arms stronger than your legs do handstands then upside push-ups i hope to see ya home boy.Good Luck!

Work out, alot!  Those boys are big and strong, and fast too!  My advice is to pick a school that has a good reputation, especially in the field you want to study, then look at football.  \nIf you can meet the admisions requirements, I would recomend Rice University in Houston as one to consider.   A top level academic reputation on par with Satnford and Harvard, plus a rejuvenated football program with a new head coach bringing energy and positive attitudes into the system.  They have a shot at a bowl game this year, and are building state of the art facilities.

At only 13 you have a variety of things to try. Corner and WR being most obvious. Don't listen to the "you are too short" stuff. You will grow and the experience you get now will help in the future. Where do YOU feel comfortable playing? Talk to the coach and ask for an honest assessment of your skills. Hell, try out for LineBacker if you have the heart for it.

Sure\n\nTalk to the Coach.  I have a friend who started his senior year.  You'll need to train and get in shape but talk to the coach.  He'll tell you what to do.

1. How can u have a small school if you are AAAA.\n2.It kinda depends how your school plays.  If you make it to the goal line a lot you should be able to get into teh endzone 4/5 times.  And it is hard for a D end cuz u can cover or blitz.  It could depend on what the team is like to.So your stats dont exactly matter your fourtenn you have a bright future ahead of you if you work really hard.

great question.  First off, as a wide receiver, you need to work on your hands.  After all, you have to be able to catch with your hands and not your body.  Best thing for this is to buy a Nerf football that's attached to a rubber band.  I think you can buy these on line or at place's like Academy.  What you do is, hook one end of the rubber band to a fence or pole.  The height should be at your shoulder's height. Then you stand and through the ball out away from you, because of the rubber band, it will come right back and really fast.  It forces you to put your hands up and catch the ball with your hands. Many NFL Wide Receiver's use this technique. \nSecondly, you need to run routes.  Get with some buddies, grab a football, go to a field and have one of your friends throw to you. You can get online and find some specific routes to run, i.e., post corner, in route etc. It would be helpful to have at least three people. One QB, one WR, and a defender. Since you're playing both WR and FS, you would want to change up and cover sometimes too.\nThird, work on your feet.  Marry a jump rope. This will educate you feet and make them quicker.  Jump rope all the time!!!!\nFourth, the weight room.  Try not to lift heavy weights.  You don't need to bulk up as a receiver.  Just light bench press, dumbell press, curls etc. Your best bet is to lift light with a lot of reps.  This will give your muscles stamina.  For your legs, squats (light), leg press, leg curls and extensions. When you're working on your legs, try to train your muscles to burst.  Meaning, on the exertion part of the lift, really burst the weight up or out. But make sure it's in a controlled way.  Don't over do it in the weight room.  As far as running two miles, that's fine, but you need to work on burts.  Meaning you need to work in some sprint work.  This is very important.  Run some 100's, 150's, 180's, and 220's.  Always stretch and warm up first and cool down and stretch afterwards.  Vary your workouts from day to day. Right down your routine for lifting and running Monday through Friday. I used to lift in the morning, and run in the evening.  Monday was heavy upper body lifting, and running day 4 400's 60 to 70 seconds for each, and 2 200 yard (sprints), 2 100 yard sprints.  Tuesday was heavy leg day, and jogging..2-3 miles, Wednesday was light upper body, short sprints..100's, 60's and 40 yard dashes.  Spend 1hr on the track.  Thursday was light lower body, and hill work or bleacher's. Try to burn your quads, yeah!!  Friday was a total body workout in the weight room (light) and some light jogging.2-3 miles at a relaxed pace. Good luck. Contact me if you need me to send you a specific routine.

Practice.  it depends on what position you want to play though.  For a QB practice throwing the football...and try different patterns..(deep, short, and then get a friend to run slant routes and stuff)  For a RB just practice running(sprinting) and also do some weight lifting for strength to break tackels.  For WR practice running routes (slant, post, corner etc) with a friend...practice diving and tip-toe catching for along the sidelines.  If  you want to be a defense then just lift weights and try to get quicker.

sure there is more attention to you, as people must think a freshman making a varsity team is really good. however, the coaches know what you've got, and they wouldnt have put u on the team just to make u feel bad. They know you will contribute to the team. just do what you always do; furthermore, as much attention may be drawn to you, people know that you're only a freshman. dont worry about what other people think. play ur game

If you can get a scholaship to a Junior College or a D-2 school take it. You can prove yourself there and earn a scholarship to a D-1 and the notice and acclaim you might be looking for. Make sure to keep on the coaches good side and get good game tape. D-1 schools will take a good JuCo transfer that has a solid reputaion and put him on scholarship.

Velocity isn't the only thing that matters, but if you can throw hard enough you've probably got a good chance of being a draft pick or getting a scholarship offer to play in college.\n\n85 probably isn't enough by itself, but if you've also got good control, you could be a real impressive prospect.  In the end, though, how far you can make it will really depend on how much work you're willing to put into it.  Obviously you are nowhere near good enough to pitch in the majors right now, and while you may have enough innate talent to make that possible as a goal down the road, it will only happen if you put in a ton of hard work.  Baseball favors effort and training over raw talent more than any other sport.

Absolutely you can walk on Div2 and 3.\n\nDivision 1A you'll be competing against potentially hundreds of scholarship candidates.\n\nStart small, if you're that good you can look for scholarship to play later.

go to some of the high school coaches in your area- they might be able to give you a version of some of thiers. Otherwise just get a college or pro tape and copy down what the defense does. it takes a while, but it can be worth it.

At our school, you had to be a member of the varsity team and participate in varsity games/meets etc. \n\nAlso, there was a minute requirement.
