Okay, so im 13 years old and im in eighth grade. I've always liked playing football with my friends, and have often considered joining a team. But, I have never really joined a team or had an option to. I have finally found a way, and desperately want to play. I love playing football, but have never played on an organized team or had a coach or been taught serious rules of football. I'm about 5'7" or 5'8" and weigh around 125-130 pounds. I run at pretty fast speed and I'm pretty strong (but not the strongest kid ever). I am not super athletic or have a six pack or anything. I only play sports for fun. But I was hoping to start up and actually do well. What position should I play, am I too short or too light, or too weak to play for my age, and how would I get into shape for a football team and do good in it. Thank you for reading and please answer my question if you have an answer.
