My best position? : Mon Feb 04, 2013 7:32 pm  

Hi, I am 14 years of age, 9 stone, and am 5 foot 7/8.

I have great evasive skills, decent pass on me, and can kick the ball reasonably well but defence isn't the strongest.

I know it's tough to judge, but basing on these details, what do you think my best position is.

Thanks very much.

Pick a team and go training with them, you will soon find out.

In all honesty I would join a local side. You may well start on the wing but if you prove yourself you will be moved to a more suitable position and one you can make your own! Good luck!

Go play Amature RL and find your best position. Have a go at em all and choose with your coach were's best to suit you.
Your still growing and you could end up in the forwards or easily in the backs. very hard to judge unless we watched you play?

Try and force your way into the most creative position, halfbacks, fullback (creative loose forward)
That way even if your preferred position is eventually somewhere else you will have the advantage of being a better all round player.

It's very difficult to predict your position without seeing you play, but if I had to say, stand-off sounds the most likely.

As I said, it's difficult to say going off a few minor details. Get down to your local club, and take it from there.

Good luck, and most of all, enjoy.

You aren't the only person to ask this. Hohaia says the same thing every night before going to sleep, and when he asks Nathan Brown, he jus gives him a scooby doo like "I dunnoooo!" and shrugs his shoulders. Hope that helps. A d even if you never know what is your beat position, it won't stop you playing in a World Cup final.
