I'm 13, I play Pop Warner football. I've been playing since I was 7. I'm only 125lbs and 5'7 but I hit really hard. I play Safety. Anyways, I'm going to a HS who are really good, so there is no way im gonna be big enough for J.V or Varsity. I love pop warner, and we might have a chance to go to Nationals next year (our running back and qb were twin brothers and their dad didnt let them play this year so we're not gonna do jack in regionals this year.) They will be back next year though and we'll have a shot at nationals. On the other hand, my older brother went to the highschool im going to and he says, if you dont play freshmen ball the coaches wont respect you. He says if I play Freshman, and stand out, I'd have a spot on Varsity by my junior year. My brother hit puberty around my age and now he's 6'3 225 Linebacker at a D1 university. What would you do? Go for nationals pop warner? Or play a 10 game Freshmen highschool to get recognized by the coaches.
BTW I know I have a full year to think, and I know I should ask my dad (already did) but I just want other peoples advice. And if there is any experts on this tell me. Atleast im not getting held back on purpose like some of my friends lol.
