What are the chances of a foreign student (NZ) getting into a college team in the US? Not necessarily on scholarship, perhaps just walk-on. Thing is though, I don't even play rugby for my school, only experience I have of football is countless hours of Madden, Fever, and the NCAA game (bought it overseas....can't get it here), and just as much time playing lunchtime and street football....with anywhere from 7 on 7 players to 12 on 12 (don't ask how that works [img]tongue.gif[/img] ). Note that there's absoutely no official Gridiron in my city.

I have 2 years left to go of High School, as of the start of next year, so I guess by American Standards that makes me a Junior (?), except we have a 5 year high school system here. I'm 5'7" and weigh 130 or so pounds (more or less), and usually play RB and CB in our games (they're surprisingly organised). I've recently started working out... up until recently I've been able to rely on natural ability....but after a big shoulder injury and a minor knee injury...

Yeah, so any tips would be good [img]smile.gif[/img]
