[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most football teams will take anyone.  I am at a big NOVA public and freshman year most of the boys arrive never having played football at all and some schools have to basically beg boys to play.  A reasonably athletic kid should have no trouble.  Show up at tryouts.

Your jurisdiction probably runs a rec flag football league.  In meantime show up for that.  Don't think there is a whole lot of rec tackle football anymore given what people now know about football and brain impacts.[/quote]

They take everyone on the team but only a few play in the games.  He can practice throwing and catching the football with you or friends or a local gym.  A lot of flag football teams are boys and girls so it’s not taking seriously.   Flag football doesn’t fill the stadiums.   [/quote]

Practice throwing? No—OP’s kid won’t be throwing. Line.[/quote]

Still.  If he’s playing football he can at least be proficient in throwing the ball.   It’s not like a normal ball shape.   [/quote]

DP and I agree with the other poster. This is not a concern.  He will never throw the ball.  Do you know anything about the positions?  [/quote]
