What i want to know is my role in each one of those spots and does my physical appearance fit those spots

Answer
Ausheen,

Your size is good for either of those positions and your coach must feel that you can catch the ball to put you there. Your primary responsibilities are to catch and block. Listen to the instruction from your position coaches and work hard and you will improve quickly.

Good Luck
