Too late?

If you haven't played for your school yet after two years, why do you think you have the skills to play D1? Help us understand by filling in some of the missing blanks here.

Is staying back a year a possibility and give yourself an extra year of high school? There's a couple of threads currently running that discuss it.

Approach it in steps.

1. Make the HS team. Once you do this go to 2, 3 etc.
2. Get opinions from people who really know and set your goals to make the realistic next level of play. Don't get hung up on D1,2,3 etc, your are waisting "cycles" even thinking about it until you do 1.
3. Work hard, get in the weight room, work on your skills. Starting late you are going to have to outwork all of the kids around you.
4. If you do 1-3 find places that you can get in front of the right coaches.
5. There is nothing wrong with going to a JC, so make this your lower level option and work up from there.

Have fun, try your best and let the chips fall where they fall.

Ok, thanks for the responses. Sorry for being kind of vague. I tried out my Freshman year and did not make the team. I didn't try out this year because I wanted time for practice and strength training. Now I tried to play summer ball for the school both years but they won't allow kids that didn't play in the spring play over the summer. Sorry again for the vagueness

There still must be some rec league opportunity going on near you right?....PONY/DIXIE/Babe Ruth?....

Get on a team and start fighting your way back.....then you can discuss the future....

It's typical for summer all-star teams like Babe Ruth etc to be required to play in the regular spring season to be considered for these teams. How about American Legion? 17U Jr Legion. Is that available?

Hey zomby, It's my HS team that isn't letting me play summer ball. There is a Legion team close by but I don't know anything about tryouts or stuff like that

Little League also has a "Sr. League". Check out mens leagues also. Get out and play! You are not going to gain the skills just working out on your own.
