Male 57 9th grade: What should I do?


Question
I'm currently in Grade 9 and im 5'7 and im playing power for my junior team which is grades 9 + 10. I'm not sure if im going to grow anymore but i want to keep playing volleyball. I'm well aware higher level players are typically taller and i wanted to know what could i do if i stayed at this height? I do play club and yea.

I feel like im alot shorter than most people that play and it's sometimes tough to block others. I have no clue what my vertical is.

Any advice would be  highly appreciated on what i could do

Answer
Good afternoon Kevin:
Thank you for being patient with me.  
This is my advice.  It's going to sound pretty simple.
Play this game as long as you love it.  
Now, what could be simpler?  Well, of course, it's not that simple.
What could make you lose your love of the sport?  You may:
* have to play a position you don't like, never liked, can't stand;
* have a coach who is the exact opposite of your personality;
* not be good enough to play at the level required;
* incur an injury that precludes them from continuing at a level that they can tolerate;
* be suffering academically.

My stepd -- and many of her closest friends -- played 6 years of school ball and 6 years of club.  About half of them played college ball.  Even fewer played all 4 years.  Each girl who didn't play for 4 years stopped for one of the reasons above (or another one I couldn't think of).  Hopefully, you will not encounter one of them.  :(  

If I were you, I'd do this:  Play as long as it's fun, as long as you love it, as long as the thought of not playing is poisonous to you.   And I hope that is many, many years from now.  :)  

Thank you for the question you sent me.
