[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 1176615, member: 55747"] Worth it? Yes. 100% Do not, DO NOT go and ask for a position. Let the coaches make that call for you. Rules of thumb: - not 1-2-3 - I guess you are not 4-5 - I would not go for 9-10. They tend to require experience. Maybe I should add 15 to that list (my take). 15s tend to have fewer interventions but more critical ones. You kinda need to know what you are doing. - So that leaves you with 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14. I guess 11 or 14 would probably be the safest choice. But again, let the coaches decide. hmmm.... I know I wrote the above but now that i think about it I would tell you to forget about it. Go, pass the ball a bit, sweat, etc. Just try to have fun. The only piece of advice I would give you is to pay attention when it comes to tackling. The technique. The difference can be big. Particularly head placement. If you don't know something, ask the guys there. It's not rocket science but tackling is not always an intuitive movement. Which shoulder to use, when, and where to place your head. That alone will help you. Rest comes with practice. best of luck [/QUOTE]
