Ski or Baseball?

I have a problem. I went to baseball tryouts today and my mom also told me that we can go to colorado to ski over spring break. One problem, i have baseball practice during spring break. I am only a freshman and there are about 20 or so very good sophmores that will probly make the JV team over me. But i am one of the best freshman and the coach says he wont cut alot of freshman because he needs a Varsity team in 3 years. I love baseball but skiing is better. What should i do.

im kinda in the same position so this is what i thinki am going to do....try and complety seperate the seasons and have them not over lap....but skiing in CO kicks ass but you have to make the baseball team...you dont have to make the terrain park team cause it is an individual sport, you still got some time so think it over a little

I thought you had to be 14 to legally work. Anyways, i think i will play baseball because i really do like it and it doesnt interfere with my night skiing on weekdays because practice ends at 5:30. I may not make the team though but i wont care because i would rather ski.

i say play baseball and just skip the spring break practices. You r also only a freshmen so it's not like it is that big of a deal to miss baseball for a while. if u were going to be on varicity then it would be a different story.i use to play baseball but i quit this year becaause it was either baseball or skiing. i don't miss baseball.

alright, ask yourself this........do you like baseball a lot? do you think you are going to play it all 4 years? and do you actually want to play for their team? if all of those are yes........then play baseball.......to help you decide think of this, is there an ice arena around you? if so, you can get snow from there and build hits in your town.....practice when you're not playing baseball....or you could build a back ayrd rail and jsut do that to hold you over. but i made this mistake too...........i was a bad ass in football, one of the best at my school (not trying to be cocky, jsut how it was), then i got heavily involved in drugs and alcohal and i gave up football because i was hung voer every morning during the summer......i could've been soemthing great, been a star, but i fucked it all up because i was making dumb ass decisions, if you have the talent, hold on to it, you can lose it. i think im going back to play football, after not playing for 2 years, its gonna be my senior year. im worried and i don't think im gonna preform how i used to. but we'll see, anyway.....thats what happened in my life.....don't give up something you're good at because you like doing something else......try to incorporate them all together.

the practices over spring break aren't manditory but they are strongly suggested. just go skiing, if you're good at baseball you can make up for it later.

if you're just gonna say baseball is gay, quit wasting your time and ours. I was in the same situation a couple years ago and chose skiing. I love baseball but it can't compare to skiing for me. If you can make them both work though, go for it.

You said it, you like skiing more, do what you like, or just tell the coach you cant do shit over spring break, say its a family thing. A week of missed practice shouldnt kill your chances, its your fucking spring break.

If it is one of those things where you are more nastalgicly (not sure if thats the right word) attached to baseball, rather than you actually wanting to play, then I would say go skiing. But if you really do like playing baseball, then play and see if you can maybe miss practice but the chances of that are pretty slim

Where did you get your clothes, the toilet store?

why does your skool hold baseball tryouts over a vacation? but that is a tough choice.

you have got to be kidding. do you think you will be able to play baseball at 70? no, but you could be skiing at 70. so ski, and enjoy the freedom of not swingina stick at a ball all day

so basicly if you ask people on a ski focused site, then naturally everyone's going to say skiing. But if you were to get on a baseball focused site, then, well....I think you know where Im going with this.
