Guest diehardbaseballmom Posted December 15, 2009 Report Posted December 15, 2009 I am interested in finding any local select football teams for my 15 year old sons friend. His passion is football and would like to stick with it year round. Any ideas??

Guest diehardbaseballmom Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 okay...maybe I worded it wrong...not play year round but for more for fun nothing too rigorous. Even if its just a fun league and not competitive. He's an excellent football player and I guess is going through withdrawal :) He is doing off season work outs which is fine, he would just like to find some game play experiences.

Select football may have something positive to offer, but IMO this kid will learn more by going through a tough off season workout regimen and picking the brains of the high school coaching staff at his school as well as going to the high level camps held at many of our colleges here in the state. Have him start asking the guys who are going to be calling the shots what they need him to improve on and what he can do to do that. Unlike baseball or track, football is a sport still where the kids are going to get noticed by what they do on Friday nights, he needs to develop the physical skills necessary to carry out the plays and defenses being called. I know of a couple of kids who went to camps over a few seasons in the spring and summer and developed and grew in strength and those coaches remember them and kept an eye on them. Those kids then signed somewhere. But as we all know, not everyone gets to go to the next level.
WTB Posted December 22, 2009 Report Posted December 22, 2009 Main thing he needs to be doing during offseason is Lifting and running. Also needs to do 7 on 7 at his local Highschool during the summer
