What days/times would you all want to see the stream?

[@michelledavis051]

That was very good Jaavis, I think this will Help a lot of kids that want to play football and don't know where to go and having not been recruited. Also making sure that they really want to play football because they love the game!

[@echezona3007]

I’ve never played football before but I’m trying to get the experience in juco how best can I go about it ?

[@JaavisFootball__1]

I’d say just go in ready to learn first and foremost and be ready for any adversity you may face

[@redrain9576]

Hey! Hopefully you see this. I’ve been playing football from the 2nd grade to my freshman year of high school. During my freshman year I dislocated my knee cap and after that i never played football again. Fast forward til now I’m out of HS and I turn 19 in March and I recently got the passion to play again. Idk what should I do in terms of getting into college football. I know I have to work on my craft and since I have no film at all I’m a deer in the headlights rn

[@JaavisFootball__1]

First I’d say research the football programs around you, I’d say look at Juco but you don’t have to, and obviously be training. In your situation you’re gonna have to understand you gotta work your ass off just for an opportunity, and if you know it’s not gonna be easy, then maybe that will help you as well

[@bradenroark7528]

[@mattpaden2]

I am a guy that is 18 and im a TE and has no football at my community college and I want to play JUCO football to transfer. But what do you think is better CCCAA or NJCAA

[@JaavisFootball__1]

Both are good, just know that NJCAA’s generally are able to give out scholarships if you can get one, whereas no CCCAA schools are able to, all schools recruit from all JUCO’s, so I would just go to one that you think you would have the best chance of getting playing time and film! Lemme know if you need any more specifics answered

[@freeman5259]

@Matt Paden CCCAA, San Diego Mesa (Walk-Ons) are more prepared to transfer than NJCAA. Mesa have the rules ready to download in their athletes handbook. JUCO in the North California region have dorms (reedly or feather river cc)

[@freeman5259]

Postpone your clock and GREYSHIRT! take college classes part-time or three-quarter time in the fall or spring, Summer school don't count. The NCAA don't care if you're a full-time student during the summer, it will not start your clock. Do not matriculate full-time in fall or spring until you make the active roster! If you already did that, and you're on the scout team, then redshirt for one season is your next choice.

[@JaavisFootball__1]

@@freeman5259 College of the Siskiyous has dorms as well, and as far as being prepared, I think it is more of a school by school basis, meaning there are schools that prepare you well for the 4 year experience at both the CCCAA and the NJCAA

[@freeman5259]

@@JaavisFootball__1 very true. In addition, doing thorough research is extremely important. JUCO teams in southern California are very good at informing you about transfer eligibility rules and school resources BEFORE you enroll in college for the first time. It's posted on their website. California also have academic advisors (sometimes separated from the regular student body) who mainly focus on student athlete's success. You can control your destiny that way. The NJCAA is slacking. Schools like Harper College used to have that on their website, they recently removed it and don't have it anymore unfortunately. They were the only athletic department in the NJCAA with a football team who provided eligibility info online for many years (Harper football no longer exist). JUCOs like Miami Dade College in Kendall, Florida (no football) don't do it at all. One more thing, Most junior colleges I've researched in the NJCAA don't offer a fulltime academic advisor for student athletes. That's two strikes already. That doesn't make sense to me. I thought the NJCAA were in the business to help prospective student athletes, (walk ons) (2-4 transfers out of high school) get back on their feet and graduate on time. Not everybody is a 4-2-4 transfer who messed up in college. People and the media need to stop pushing that narrative. Everybody on every college level likes to snubb these guys, like its their fault they are going there. For example, Sometimes you have guys who graduated from a public high school (at that time) was underperforming below state standards, the worst school district in that state. Or your G.P.A. is messed up because your teachers never wanted to show up to class and then show their faces around final exams. Or you are now transitioning to the 12th grade in high school and the coach decides to cut you before the season begins, Now you have no game film. Or all of the above I've mention (Something that's beyond your control). This will make you clueless about college recruiting and the NJCAA or CCCAA's existence. JUCOs are not helping as much anymore. We need change.

[@JaavisFootball__1]

I’ve played with people who were 27 playing Juco, granted they had played before, but if you really want to do it, buckle down and get ready cause it won’t be easy. No guarantee you’ll make it out of Juco even if you do manage to find a team, I’m rooting for you man!

Currently a high school dropout. Looking into a GED program, as finishing highschool is a lot to handle with everything going on. I do not want to make excuses for my situation as Im just wanting to play football again. Is the possibility of making it into a juco lower with a GED. I kept decent grades (3.6 gpa average) in my first 2 years of highschool, then flunking the majority of my late first/ second semester into junior year.

[@cristianhenriquez7562]

Hey, hope you see my comment but I’m a Junior in High School when I was younger I played soccer then, when I was getting older I stop playing it I lost passion for it and I got into football but unfortunately my high school does not have a football team, I play backyard football with friends. I know how the game of football works and everything. This two years left in high school I plan on practicing on my football skills by working on drills and workouts to be successful, after graduating high school I plan on playing Juco football. what do you recommend or advice you can get give me? And Thanks!

[@JaavisFootball__1]

Hey! So first and foremost that’s awesome that you want to keep playing and you have a plan laid out! That’s a big accomplishment! Second, I had a friend in high school who went to a school that didn’t have football, and they let him play for our team cause he was close by, so after he was done with school he came to practice, that could be an option, if it’s not, then I would train as much as possible, strength speed, technique, and anything else that might make you a better athlete, also, I would consider attending some college camps, not to get recruited because that rarely happens (at least at the bigger ones) but in your situation you could probably benefit a lot from what the coaches that run it could teach you while you’re there, and if you keep following the channel, I know my content will be able to help you out, but there are other creators that do a great job too! So just do your research and be consistent! Nobody is truly born great! It’s all earned!

What should I do as for ending up playing in college?

[@nexus-flow249]

While I’m not as experienced as others try and get a lot of work in now, play in flag football on weekends, Do drills by yourself JUCO is tough and your best option to play again and even at a college level if you don’t want to go through juco reach out to coaches and school give your height weight some clips of you doing drills etc. and reach out to as many coaches as possible. This is your best option

[@JR-di7mh]

I didn’t play much varsity my sophomore year of hs, and I didn’t even play my junior year because I was not even considering college. I played my senior year(this year), put in so much work before the season, bulking, lifting, using the cone and ladder, I thought I had the wide receiver spot locked, until I tore my quad in a 7 on 7. I’m back now and it’s obvious how much better I am strength wise and athletically than the guys in front of me but the coaches ignore me as if they forgot about me. I don’t know what to do I worked so hard and I know I can do it but my coaches almost don’t even care about me and that’s no exaggeration. Like the favoritism is awful, I mean terrible. A former teamate went to cyber schooling, and now plays for another team as a starting linebacker; at my school, he didnt get a single rep at a scrimmage, and walked off the field dropping his helmet lol. Last offensive practice I finally got reps, I had three straight catches, a screen, a vertical, and another vertical which I mossed the corner in the endzone, but they still put a lanky slow sophmore over me in game. It’s frustrating, I wanna play football, I don’t wanna give it up because I never got a fair shot in HS. what do i do?

[@JaavisFootball__1]

Football is an unforgiving game where you aren’t guaranteed anything just because you work hard. But a lot of the times, those that do make it didn’t always have it so easy, sometimes it about who can take the most s*** thrown at them and still keep going. There are options after high school if it doesn’t work out for you this year, but talking directly to your coach about how you feel about the situation can go a long way and is something a lot of people aren’t willing to do.

[@marshalljohnson8153]

Hey, I hope you see this, but I had an offer from a naia school but I felt like it wasn’t the right choice so I withdrawal from it, and now I’m considering going to a juco school that’s right around the corner. I have film but I lost a couple of pounds to be playing the position now. The school that recruited me knew about so they moved me to end. Do I still show my film even tho I lost the weight for the position I played ?

Yes, use the film you have, work on getting back to that size or be such a good athlete that you can play multiple things when you get there

If you think Juco is the route that your want to take (It's a tough path) then I would say go for it, but make sure to keep a look out for other opportunities as well. Don't get tunnel vision and think you can only go this specific path because you chose it already, does that make sense! And don't worry about size, no matter what size you are, make it work for you.
