I have a 13 year old son who is in a tight spot as far as his weight goes.....

- In the past having enough weight for a division was never a problem...but this past offseason (through June of this year) he has been training with a speed coach so he can move from center to fullback/linebacker positions.

- He is moving up from Pee Wee (max weight 125 pounds) to midget (max weight 175 POUNDS) and of this moment he only weighs 134.

- The max weight kids will probably be linemen...but in talking to some coaches they ideally like their fullbacks to be in the 140-150 range and fast.

So....what can he safely do to put on weight (while not giving up speed) before June.
