Honestly a lot of the people at Uni are beginners as well and are pretty poor. Go for it man and just work hard to improve.

I played when i was living in Australia and in the States. I stopped playing for a while then go back into it.

Ugh I'm worried about going to uni and playing because I will be a complete noob :awesome:

But I am going to the States next year for gap year so hoping that I'll learn there but I'm going to a high school and obviously will get nowhere near any sort of team :tongue:

Also I weigh like 9 stone (59kg) and I'm nigh on 6 foot tall... is there any place for me in American football?

P.S.

Sorry for ruining the love-in :rolleyes:

Dude honestly many people in the Uni team start off as noobs then move on to the BAFL teams. If i can make the team as a 17 year old kid i think you have a chance. No ones expecting you to roll in and be perfect.

Going to America would be a great opportunity to get better.

However saying that for someone 6 ft you sound extremely light? I'm 172 pounds at 5 ft 8. I would definitely try get a little weight on you. Are you sure your that light?

Okay that's cool :biggrin:

It would be cool to be good at something like that, I've always been decent at catching things :tongue:

Yeah I am extremely light, my metabolism is massive. I am trying to bulk up but it's difficult I have to eat LOADS! Living in America for a year might help though :wink:

Dude we were having a moment :dry:

But yeah, Malevolent makes it sound like everyone will be terrible so it should be fine :biggrin:

I reckon I've got decent hands, might be a good catcher. All those years of cricket will have helped with my hand-eye-coordination. Would love to throw a deep touchdown pass though :moon:

Damn man in a way thats good but in this case its a little problem haha. Even at like 140 pounds I was getting hit damn hard. Definitely need to put on more weight :tongue:

I mean i already had size going against me so the last thing i wanted to do was be small and weigh light. That equals pain and huge hits. Although saying that 6 ft is a pretty good height though could play a few positions.

Being good at catching is a good start :smile:

America for a year? Lucky sod! Definitely a great chance to play some high standard, haha.

Also invest in some mass gainer supplements and hit the weight room hard :ninja:

My highschool had 4 football teams if I remember correctly... Varsity, JV, Sophomore and Freshmen. I hadn't played a day of football in my life before, and I ended up playing JV for one year and second-string varsity for the next. Chances are, you'll be able to play, but you'll need to bulk up.

Yeah. I mean, I'm like 170 on a 5'11'' frame and I could hardly play Free Safety on Varsity. The only reason I got to was because I had good ball skills and insticts.
