Answer 1

If you are that young join a local team. You will have coaches to help you along. Play with your friends in local pickup games. The main thing is not to listen to those people who say you can't do it. Join a team and see what happens. Good Luck my man.

Answer 2

play this year! your still in middle school, this is the year were theres not much on the line and you can just play for fun. i have frends who are like 5f 3in and shorter and are all tubby and slow but still play for the heck of it.

Answer 3

find a pop warner team or join your middle schools team and start playin. you need to think about playing for the love of the game and not so much about going pro If those things happen they will take care of themselves. Your drive and passion to play the game is all that is required!

Answer 4

play on a middle school team first off, second off catching and running isnt all of the game, BLOCKING is the key to the game, then their is tackling, another key part of the game, if you arm tackle ur most likely going to get run through by the ball carrier, and if u want to move on to the college level, you need to run and excersie often, find a weight room and be sure to lift weights 3 times a week, and if your skinny put on some weight, that helps you out in the next level
