Is it TOO LATE for me to join a Team Sport?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I used to play soccer/baseball when a was a little girl and I was pretty good. I played from the age of 5 to 14, but stopped at the end of 9th grade. I just had too much going on in my life to continue playing sports: School, family, church, etc. I'm a junior know and I'm thinking about trying out for the Spring season Crew and Lacrosse. I used to play both sports in Middle School as well. I'd like to restart playing again and maybe earn a scholarship or get recruited to a good private college (b/c I know I'll desperately need the money for college), but I'm not sure if its too late for that. I've always loved playing sports but I also need the money for college, because things at home aren't that great and money is extremely tight. I don't want to have to rely on loans or my parents to get into college.</p>

<p>any comments are appreciated
thanks</p>

<p>I feel like it doesn’t really matter what grade you’re in or how late you start as long as you put in the dedication and show the recruiters that you have what it takes. </p>

<p>I’m trying out for lacrosse this year, and i’ve never played before, so…you’re better off than i am! haha :D</p>

<p>You can join the team but, it’s a bit too late to get recruited or get major scholarships.</p>

<p>Getting scholarships is for the best of the best and these people usually play club lacrosse or for their city team in addition to their high school team.</p>

<p>you can if you intelligently practice one hour a day. keyword is intelligently. Many people when practicing sports just go through the motions for 3 hours and feel accomplished when in reality they could have gained more skill by practicing hard and smart for 30 minutes</p>

<p>You should post on the recruited athletes forum, if that’s your main reason for considering this. In girls soccer at least, recruiting for your graduating class is almost done.</p>
