I want to play american football in the uk!?

Question

Hey i'm from the uk

and I'm really interested in playing american football for in the british league

only problem is I'm not very knowledgeable about the game as a whole, like, the details and that, i only know the general concept of the game.

Basically I'm 6ft 3 i weigh 12 stone, I'm quite toned with a bit of muscle

I'm also quite fast but not the best in the world at catching but i can throw the ball pretty far, also I'm not bothered but getting roughed up a bit and id love to rough people up a bit myself.

What position would you recommend for me? and what sort of training eg weights, cardio etc and diet do u think i should take in order to get fit for the new season?

Answer 1

Linebacker.  You can do the roughing up.  Maybe get a personal trainer to help with the weights, cardio, etc.  Eat lots of carbs.  As far as your lack of knowledge goes, if you want to learn football, check out www.learnprofootball.com.  And start watching some games.

Answer 2

First find a team and see how it goes. Then you can specialize. I do hope you get a position that involves the ball!

Answer 3

You sound to me like you'd be a good linebacker. It's one of the funner positions to play.
