Hey Coach, 4k4b3

I'm going out for linebacker on my high school football team. Could you tell me more about the linebacker position and what things I should train and practice on? That would help me a lot.

Hey JG_the_LB,
Linebackers line up behind a team's defensive line, usually five yards back. They have three jobs:

  • Tackle a ing plays.
  • Linebackers will play in one of two ways:

  • Man to man defense - Each linebacker chooses an offensive player to cover.
  • Zone defense - Each linebacker covers an area of the field.
  • Linebackers - Speed, Strength and Focus

  • A linebacker should ALWAYS have his eye on TV, keep a close eye on where the linebackers are in relation to the line of scrimmage before the snap.

A good linebacker is able to read what the offensive is going to do and react quickly.
  • Do you have a question on sports like hockey, football or skateboarding? Do you need some advice on fitness, P.E. class or health? to the Kidzworld Coach. Keep in mind peeps, the Kidzworld Coach isn't a doctor or a professional athlete or anything like that. He's just a dude who digs sports, plays 'em and knows a lot about 'em. You should always talk to your 'rents, a doctor or your school gym teacher before starting a new sport or a new exercise.
