(5f 5in to 5f 10in) (130lb to 160lb)

When playing football there are certain skills that you will need such as catching, running throwing and tackling. All these skills are essential to the sport and for the little players there are ways to use these skills to their advantage so they can lower their disadvantage against bigger players.This guide is more effective to players that are 5f 5in to 5f 10in and weigh 130lb to 160lb.
Running
There are two ways to begin running in football,there is the rocket stance for wide receivers and the up stance and down for running backs.       

Rocket stance:put one foot in front of the other with space between.(legs wide as possible) make sure you're comfortable and bend your knee to about a 145 degree angle.

Catching
When catching a football you should always keep your eye on the ball until it's in your hands.You should act as if your eyes are camera lens and focus on the ball. As soon as you catch tuck the ball under your arm and run


When catching the ball make a diamond shape with your hand to do so except when the ball is coming too low.

When the ball is above your waist or the side catch it with the diamond/thumbs in  and when it's below your waist thumbs out and pinkies in.
Tackling
To make a good tackle first you should duck down and bend your knees. Next put your outside shoulder into the player and wrap your arms around there hip or legs. After that follow through and push forward until the other player is down.

Do not run and hit the opposite player high up on there body it has very little effect. Also don't try and wrap your arms high up on the other player's body, the top of the player's body is larger so it is  harder to get your arms around.
