Is it too late to be a professional vollyball player? I'm 16?

Question

I haven't played since I was 13! And I've never had a trainer or anything, everyone I know that's good has been playing throughout high school and on teams. I played for varsity in middle school which was AGES ago. I just had an epiphony (sp) lol and I really want to be a vollyball player when I'm older. Is it too late for me? I'm 16 (junior in high school) and I LOVE the game. My g*y private school doesn't have a team, what can I do outside school? Is it too late for me??

Answer 1

DEFINITLY! i mean if you are willing to work hard enough it is very possible! GO VOLLEYBALL!

Answer 2

I play v-ball in high school now and colleges begin recruiting while we're still in high school. if you're not on a high school team, they probably wont find you. I think it may be too late. Plus! You're already a Junior, it's a little late to get too much better. Sorry.

Answer 3

No its never too late to become a volleyball player.

Answer 4

well u have to get a lot of practice to be a professional player! But if you want to play select just tryout and see where you stand!

Answer 5

Never mind getting stuck on old days and keep on  doing whatever you love, call the one you feel like to, no matter boy, girl, elderly, homeless, green, red,afro,white, anyone who feels the same vibe. Work it hard, have fun & joy, chase them.

Answer 6

it depends how good you are.

& sometimes even where your from.

colleges do look at highschool, but most look at "club" volleyball teams.

its kinda alte to join a club team now.

most start in november.

but maybe u have have one in your city (theyre mostly in larger cities) then you should talk to them to see if u can practice with them or sumthin.

but club volleyball is serious. we go to tournaments alomst every weekend. & its pretty expensive (about $300 a month depending on the club & thats not including hotel & gas money to tournaments)

Answer 7

No it isn't. Follow your dream and never give up. Don't let anything block you way.

Answer 8

It is not too late to be a professional volleyball player.  But I will say the odds are against you.  There are very few players that do not start playing in junior high school that are playing in college.  With that being said, you can still make it.  You will have to work out every day for as many hours a day as you can.  You will have to condition as much as you can AND work out with a volleyball as well.  You should talk with a USAV juniors club and see what the coach recommends as for off season workouts.  (It is probably too late to join a team this late in the season.)

You should talk to a high school coach in your area to see what workouts they recommend.  

Since it is too late to join a USAV club, go to the YMCA or local community center to see if they have a league that you can join.  

You need to play and work out as much as you can.

Answer 9

no....i think that you would be good at it. try your hardest andmaybe if you play volleyball maybe you can have your mom or dad video tape your performance and send it to a person that can make you play college or proffesional
