Playing for a football team

Question

ive never managed to play for a football (soccer) team because recently i had a scaphoid fracture and i also suffer with hirschsprungs disease so i was never able to play when i young. so i was wondering what does my fitness need to be like because i have no idea how its going to be as i've never played for any teams. T o give you an idea about myself ... im about 6'1 very physical .... lack a bit of pace ( dont know how to gain some lol) and have a very powerful left foot... i was thinking centre back or a striker ( target man )

Answer 1

Try doing a multi stage fitness test (bleep test)

I'd say level 11+ you'll be good fitness.

Answer 2

Go to your local gym and get a fitness test. You can also hire a fitness instructor at some gyms just for a day so that they can write you a program to follow. This will increase your fitness and not push you too hard that you cant move in the morning. Also, you can join a club and compare your fitness to your teammates. This way you will be able to see whether there is a large change in fitness needed or nothing at all.  

Answer 3

go left back 'not to exerting & if you feel ok switch to wing back ,left footers are rare so you have an advantage, and remember "let the ball do the work"

Answer 4

Just go to your local park and play with people their. That way you can see how good you are.
