Study study study learn play book and look at defenses like on video game learn how defenses are set up and how they move a smsrt QB is better than justa athlete keep your head up and work hard lead your team to promise land

one of the best things you can do is to ask coaches what can I do better! they will always be willing to work with you, they know that they are the step on the latter for you to go to the next level. Also as you get closer to H.S. ask them to introduce you to those coaches, this will let them know your there guy in the next years. know your play book but don't over do it (do not burn your self out) its so often done! Practice play in your off time with other team mates receviers most of all, a QB insinc with his recivers is so important, your now playing at the level where passing can win games! When its game time relax and have fun (watch D. McNabb of the Philadelpha Eagles when he is smiling and having fun they win)! Learn to be a great leader, not so easy to do and not seem like a pushy jerk to your team mates, leading by example is the first place to start, when they see you work hard they will follow. As a QB in JHS its important to be a good listener coaches should be heading you were you need to be, if they are not doing so, ask them questions, they will respond! And ask your coach if your play book is the same as what the HS is running, if it is go to every HS game, it will be like watching film (so pay close attention to every move that QB is doing) and even on your on after a HS game introduce your self to the coach and ask him if there is any thing he would like you to focus on for when he's your coach (this is part of that leadership I talked about). I did all of this and had college scouts looking at me in 10th grade. And most importantly have fun, stay safe, and work hard on and off the field.............Good luck!

get ready for some real action and hard hitting...this is where the competition starts to get a little fierce as dudes get better physiques form weight training, faster and more agile, and into their own as football players...concentrate on school and academics FIRST, and study your play books and watch films of the pros and college guys...go to practice EVERYDAY, and treat it like it's a game everytime..spend time with your coaches and specialty coaches and put in extra work...have fun and NEVER quit or give up. Be careful too, it's intense with scholastic ball.

Study hard! Your school work should be first. Have fun! These are the best years coming up soon. When you get to High School things can change, so if your not the QB in High School don't get down stay positive and work hard for the position you want. Talk to your Dr. about when you can start lifting weights and always run and exercise to stay in shape. Throw the ball everyday! Attend QB camps in the off season. Most of all HAVE FUN!!!!

Work hard, learn proper technique and good footwork. Learn to throw accurately. Relax when going back to pass, don't force bad throws.

all of these are good answers ...but I get the feeling you are asking about what to do to make your arm better?

as far as strength goes dont push it.....if your arm isnt that strong yet let it grow some your only in unior high...forcing your body to do things before it is ready will put undue pressure on joints and musscles that you need for the LONG RUN...hitting the gym under a coaches supervision will strenghten your arm but dont push it...buy a weighted football and throw it a few times a day...the long slow build pays off in good core strenght and durability and nobody is expecting a kid in Jr.High to throw like the pros....if you can hit a 10-15 yard out crisp and on target 8-9 out of ten times a highschool coach will be honored to get you on his sideline....that brings me to accuracy....Practice...you dont get better by watching people do it...you get better by doing it. find a friend that wants to be your reciever and throw a 10 yard out until you can hit him in the chest with your eyes closed then move to a 15 and do the same if you can make the basic throws in a timely manner with good zip on the ball you can march a team down a field and winn a game....dont believe me ...ask chad pennington....ofcourse you could go for broke and focus on the longball and hope that gets you there but if thats all you got ....your goning to get benched sooner or later... ask Rex Grossman... in short right now you should be getting the fundamentals of things down...worrry about the flashy stuff later. good luck with everything.

Having been a quarterback myself and now being a quarterback coach I must say that the most important thing is not the playbook or toughness or things like that but mechanics. Find a video of Manning teaching proper mechanics and study closely. If you have good mechanics it is near impossible to throw a imperfect ball.

In my opinion, accuracy is a developmental process that has to be catered to from a variety of perspectives, but with the same intensity. Off the field, work with tennis balls, in a baseball type way. Have the QBs throw with speed at targets, to the left, right, and in front of them. As a second step, have them take 3 and 5 step drops and make those same throws. Once they have established some accuracy and consistency with that, stand behind them and have them take the same drops, but calling out a target (left, right, middle). This will develop their mental capacity with being accurate.

After the QBs have established a consistent basis with that, replace the tennis balls with the footballs. They will have already developed the mental toughness to hit the target, even if its not a tight spiral. Its about it getting to the right spot. Go through those same motions, standing behind them while they take their drops. Then switch and go stand behind one of the targets. Have the QBs take the same drops while keying on the target you're standing behind, BUT, still make the call as to who he throws it to. Its important to make the call before he hits the height of his drop. This will help him to work his feet as well as adjust to changing directions, all the while maintaining accuracy. When you feel comfortable enough with his development, replace the targets with receivers.

I don't have any recommendations for arm strength. I think that develops through leg strength moreso than just hitting the weights like a maniac. Good luck to you with that.

The lil bit of advice i will have is not to get discourage when things seem not to be going your way on the field. watch alot of football on T.V. or go to football games and watch other QB's in action, find a QB you like (college,pro or top rated high school player in your area that you like) a visual of what you want to become is good. also, read the the advice that is post before this one, because fundamentals & different practice skills are very important as well. last but not least remember to have fun with this, HAVE FUN STAY POSITIVE & BELIEVE YOU CAN DO IT (NO PRESSURE)

have fun

Study Study Study, School is so important. Also have fun football is a competition but it is also about having fun!

Listen to your coach's the games changes at this level, and don't dwell on your mistakes learn from them.

The key to me for a young quarterback is to play tall, on your toes and limit mistakes. Don't try to force anything. You should know the playbook as well as the coaches. Most importantly to improve on accuracy and power. Throw, throw, throw. Repetition, target practice. Ask your wide-outs and runningbacks to work with you after practice to develop chemistry. I coach ten year-olds and my quarterback does all of these things.
