My school is not the try out and see if you make it kind, it's more like the sign up and your in! Well i signed up and i really want to play, but im not in the most perfect fit (I'm not really close to a perfect fit). I was just wondering should i be worried about joining the team? Or should i back out. I'm 5'3 and 160 pounds. Im not really fast nor strong. My family are just pushing me to join.

have some fun, im 12, 5 3, 94 pounds and am moving up to midgets. Last year we were MBYFL pee wee league champions! Go bulldogs. Dont fret or have anxiety, look at what Jesus said about it. Praise the Lord Jesus, Christ, now and forever more. Repent of your sins and ask Jesus to come into your life! dont be worried, what will this matter in 100 years to you? Youll either be in heaven or hell. Ive played for two years, they try to grind you out the first week, but then you dont get wore out as much as the season goes on. No one got hurt that bad on our team, dont worry about getting hurt!

My school was the same way, and when I joined I was about 5'8" 130 Lbs. You will get in shape, loose some weight and gain muscle- and they will try to form you into whatever position they feel you fit. The only thing I ever worried about was the upper-classmen, they will kick the **** out of you- just to toughen you up. Get used to it kid, you can't puss out now. It will be a fun experience, just stick to it.

hes how i see it which is the right way. DONT LISTEN TO ANYONE ELSE. UNLESS YOU GET INTO GOOD PHYSICAL SHAPE DONT PLAY FOOTBALL!!!!!! why? you'll end up not playing at all because there are 60 other kids who can perform better than you. Also even if you do play, it will be for 1-3 plays per game. you wont be carrying the ball or anything. your probably just be on the d-line or o-line. Your family thinking that youre gonna be scoring touchdowns and having fun.. but your not because your fat. so lose weight and buffen up or dont play at all

On a foot ball team it doesn't matter what size you are because their are a lot of positions that need different sizes. What matters is if you feel safe playing, if you think you won't get hurt then good luck. but you will get bruised no matter what.

give it a try, you'll probably be pleasantly suprised. it WILL hurt at first, it take some time to get into condition, as well as getting accustomed to the hitting involved. once you start getting into some semblance of shape, and get your bearings, things will/should start to come naturally and that's where the fun begins. just stay with it!!!

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seriously though you will be ok. little tip. of all the peop[le i have played foot ball with or against. the only people who got hurt were the people that were afraid of geting hurt. because if you are afraid then when some one goes to hit you all you will do is ball up and you WILL GET HURT, unless you hit back.

Don't worry...the exercise is good, the friendships you make are great, and you'll get to travel to other schools to play...thats my favorite part.
Have fun!
