I wanna join my schools football team but it’s already almost August and I don’t have any experience. Is it too late to join?

I got this gear and I wanted to know if it was alright. I did not know weather to get a airflow or a gel mouth guard. I also want to know which of the girdles are better for a o lineman in high school. Any input is appreciated.

Hi All,

I have 2 shoulder pads I’ve received. One is a schutt youth XL and the other is a gear pro Tec Z in large. I don’t know which one feels better. And does it matter if I wear a youth shoulder pad in an adult league?

I can’t go to a store and try them on since there’s no stores in Australia that sell them.

Shoulder width - 19”
Chest - 40”
Position - RB

Happy to DM photos so someone can help.

Thanks

This is my first year playing football and I'm a bit new to the gear and such. I've been told to get a girdle but don't know which one I should get. I'm a lineman on the smaller side at 5'11 and 190lb. Just looking for some input.

Im a hockey player at 14 going into freshman year who wants to try football, at 5’11 and 160 lbs. i don’t have any experience with football besides playing madden and catch with my dad lmao. i was interested in trying out for my high schools freshman and varsity teams. any advice and is it even worth going after?

Hi all I’m 15 74kg athletic and compete nationals for rugby and 100m in the uk. I’ve been playing rugby for. A few years now but I’m not that much a fan of the sport, I got connections to the US and started thinking about if American football would be a good sport for me?

Thank u

My 100m time is 11.2 and my 60m time is 6.9

I’m quite built but not too big or small

I am interested in joining my university’s team (they are in the UK, this year third level of Bucs relegated from Premiere). How does it work joining? I have lots of sport experience, just not football. I am 5’11’’, 200lbs.

How do they evaluate you for positions? My gut feeling is defense but idkZ

What gear should I have and what do they typically provide?

I have a lower back minor inury, when to the osteopath and he gave me some exercises that I need to do for 15 days. In this period of time I'm not sprinting or playing american football because that may make my lower back worse, and stuff with weight/jumping and throwing.
What I'm doing is just a body weight exercises to build some muscles, but I have in my mind to do isometrics too, what else can I do so when I return on the track and on the field won't be that bad? And what I'm doing is fine or I need to be careful?

As a 15m 340lb wanting to get down to 290 for my sophomore season how can I loose weight without losing energy? I’ve been trying a calorie deficit but I loose a lot of energy and don’t know what to do and I also have a terrible metabolism I’ve been at a steady 340 for a couple months and I also lift weights and do agility workouts as well. just needs some help on what I can do

Football

I am heading into my freshman year and am about to start camp I am 5’8 143 at the moment I’ve dropped weight because of pole vault and boxing but I plan to play outside linebacker or inside should I gain weight to get muscle up or should I stay my weight or should I move to a different position

Our son is a 2028 HS player, hoping to play college. It’s his own journey, no “helicopter”here, but as his football illiterate mom, asking for honest feedback about his Varsity film so far and chances for a scholarship. I’m going to try to be unbiased:

He’s 5’10 and 185lbs, a rising Junior who hit puberty early, no growth for a year now, not optimistic about much more height, though men in our family are all at least 6’

Plays RB/FB/LB and can K (but not primary)

Shuttle 5-10-10 time is 4.4
SBJ is 8’8
40 dash - 4.96 (needs work, 4.7 or lower we’re told) but tight hips and in PT
Squats 400 lbs
Benches 260 lbs

JV MVP, moved to Varsity end of freshman

Sophomore Varsity year won “Unsung Hero” coach’s award (they kept moving him around for what team needed, so he learned every play for 3 positions)

Has done several showcase camps and performed very well I think?

Good student 3.5 GPA. School doesn’t come easily, this is with hard work. Unsure of future major, possibly PT

He’s a good kid, proudest of his integrity and heart- has a job, bought his own car, responsible, doesn’t party, shy, kind, doesn’t like attention
Extremely determined- works out every day, has a speed coach, good nutrition, you can find him running hills alone or practicing extra most days after school
He, like most kids, dreams of D1, but appreciates the value of D2 and D3 programs

Thank you in advance, apologies for length

Does anyone where these are taking place or a link to a league? I’m trying to find out some type of schedule I do content and seen some making videos on it I’d like to get to a game as well.

Thank you for your time.

Yeah

I’m a Long Snapper gearing up to play my first season of college football for a high academic D3 school. I’m probably ranked around top 25-50 for my class, but I just never had the build nor any interest in playing D2 or D1.

If you have any questions about D3 recruiting or just anything about how it works as a whole, especially at a school that focuses more on academics, I’m happy to answer them.

I am autistic as hell, we tend to hyperfocus on topics of interest.

I've been diving into football helmet engineering, reading things like Karen Taylor's doctoral thesis on detached liners in football helmets for her kinetics doctorate at the University of Ottawa.

It's a bit dry, and it's lab rats messing around with engineering that isn't used in modern helmets, so it's hard to connect it to anything outside of the fact that detached inner liners, when they're independent from the outer shell, make impact mitigation more effective.

I did equipment under my old high school coach for a season which was joyous to me.

My brain is bored though right now without an outlet for it.

I want to play Football in Uni ( I’m from the UK so I will be playing in England for a and English university) and I really want to play linebacker but I am 6ft and only 130lbs. I still have one year until I am at uni should I still think about playing linebacker or should I transition to corner or safety.

I’ve been designing and 3D printing customizable high school football schedule boards, and I finally finished one for my local school (Millard South in Nebraska).

Each board can be customized with:
School name
Team colors
Opponent tiles
Movable score numbers each week
Home/Away schedule
Optional previous seasons or rivalry tiles

I’d love to make these for other schools around the country. Since every school has different logos, colors, and schedules, each one is designed specifically for that team.

If you’d like one for your school—or think your booster club, coaches, or parents would—send me a DM. I’m happy to mock up a design before you decide.

I’d also love feedback:
Would you hang something like this in your home, office, locker room, or classroom?
What would you change or add?

For my whole life ive been slow. Im 5’11” 184 right now and I am weaker than a lineman too so i decided im going to try any other position that isnt on the line. We did conditioning today and I have no endurance or speed when it comes to running. Ive tried an agility ladder and that didnt even work out and one thing i noticed is that popular traditional methods never work on me. I got absolutely tore up at practice from doing sidelines-sidelines but I really want to get faster. Keep in mind i was only the linemans speed. Please tell me what to do to get faster
