What Should My Friend Play in Grade 9 Football?

Question

He wants to know

hes 5'8" and 127lbs and moderately fast

Answer 1

Rb

Answer 2

Wide Reciver or Cornerback.

Answer 3

WR or Half back.

Answer 4

Probably WR, but he could also play a slot position or even RB, although I suspect he is too light for that.  He needs to gain some weight and start weightlifting. Any of the defensive backfeild positions would work for him. the key for any receiver position is to use the correct mechanics to catch the ball.  You catch high balls differently than low balls.  Ask your coach to show you and ALWAYS use correct form when you play catch.

My boyfriend used to eat a rice meal when he was in high school to add weight.  It was essentially rice with extra water added that he would then sweeten with sugar to make something similar to oatmeal.  He swears by it but was never very heavy.

Answer 5

Half back or corner back

Answer 6

the coach will decide that after evaluating his skills and weaknesses

Answer 7

He should try as many different positions as possible.

Answer 8

I'd say either a defensive end or a corner back.

Answer 9

slot back or wide receiver
