Volleyball or Music?

I have a dilemma. I have always wanted a scholarship for volleyball, and now I want to major in music, which means get a musical scholarship, and I can't do both volleyball and music in college... So I have decided that I still want to play volleyball in HS, just not for college, which is a problem if we are putting more than a thousand bucks a year for it and its not even going to pay off with a scholarship. But the thing is that I can't just give up volleyball and forget about it. I still want to play high school volleyball, and we can pay for that, but club is the expensive part (in the spring) and I'm afraid that if I don't do club and keep up my skills, I won't make the high school team next year. But, club takes a ton of money and a lot of time that I could spend in voice or guitar lessons to help me on the music track. I really really love music and I know that in the long run, it will pay off and that I will benefit more if I can play the piano than if I can play volleyball when I'm an old lady. But I can't just quit cold turkey on volleyball. I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions? Opinions? Please.

I don't think you will lose your skills by not playing club volleyball- so you can get your volleyball "fix" by playing HS volleyball and then use the money you would save from club and do lessons - just like you suggested. I think that is the best scenario and the one that would get you a lot farther in the things you really like!

It sounds like you already know what you want to do. Does club ever do fundraisers to help with the expense? I think you will be great at whatever you do Nicole!

lucky for you... you are still young and have lots of time to decide. there's no rush, and it's true, you will be great at whatever you do.
