Played my first game on Sunday. 30C heat in the UK.

Had a bit of nervousness, but after my first 1 or 2 big hits, i settled right into it.....The big thing we found as a team was how hot it go in our pads during a game. We have scrimmaged and practiced in pads, but a real game is so much more intense

Even as a center I managed to force a fumble from their kick returner.....He should have called a fair catch, but didn't so i flattened him!

All in all, this is THE best sport in the world!

Great job on your first game! I'm glad you enjoy football so much. And in honor of my high school's center, I ask to watch what you eat before games. Although he was an all-conference center, his first name became the verb for his most memorable performance. He vomited during the game and "ralphing" became a goal to avoid!

I play for an Amature team in the UK. It was our first game against an established team....They have been together for 3 years. We will have been a unit 1 year in September.

I always watch what i eat, i'm an 'atheletic' center. Im only 230lb (102Kg), Im quick and tall, I just happened to be the only volunteer for the position 7 months ago.

I enjoy the game that much that I average 40-50 snaps a day at work to practice the movement and to get into my block.

My only regret is im 28 and probably only have a few years in me, unlike a lot of the other players in my team who are 18-22 who have years left
