Worried
I haven't ever really played any sports but this year i am ready to try because i am finally in shape (i've ALWAYS been a big kid). I want to play softball but I have anxieities that i will let the team down because i've never played before. Is there anyone who waited till High Skool to pick up a sport and did okay?
Thank YOu
Worried. :(

Yes i know girls that are sophmores and tryout for bball even tho they didnt try for sports teams in the past. But you cant just tryout and not be prepared. If you want to play..you need to practice. Like maybe practice with your parents or a friend. There are only a few ppl who can pick up a sport like that. So be prepared. Good Luck

what a coincidence! well, i'm only in middle school, but my older sister played softball in high school! and you know what? you never would have known, if you'd seen her play, that when she first tried out, she had NO IDEA how to play! when she, to her surprise, made the team, she even considered quitting 'cause she now KNEW how to play, but she...well...she wasn't very...ok, she kinda sucked at it! but you know what? over time, she got SO MANY FREAKIN AWARDS IN SOFTBALL THAT SHE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THEM ALL! she had to make her own little closet for them! by the time she graduated, that closet was completely full! among the awards were the most improved player award, and this one award that they don't give away even anually. that award is only given to EXTREMELY hard-working players, and in the past ten years, only 3 people at her school have received it, one of them being her! so the whole cliche'd "try your hardest" "practice makes perfect" and "NEVER quit" REALLY work! it worked for my sister, and it will work for you! after all, you at least know how to play right now! i REALLY hope i helped, and i REALLY hope you do great...in fact i KNOW you will! well, thats all i can thinkof for now. let me know how it goes! (all comments, good or bad, are greatly appreciated!) again, hope i helped boost your confidence! ♥ MaRi ♥

I had a friend who picked up softball last year and their team did really well. You never know. If you practice and have faith in yourself then you should do fine, I figure.

i've played softball all my life. since i was like 4 or 5 . Softball isnt a sport that you can learn in a week or so. you really have to kno what your doin. you can try out for your high school team and see what happens. but i wont guaruntee that you would make it because well, youve never played it before. theres more to softball than just catching and throwing an oversized baseball. you have to kno where to throw the ball, when a runners on 1st or whatever.. lol im kinda gettin off the subject but yeah. i wouldnt recommend tryin out but if you really really REALLY want to then its up to you. who knos you could be a natural!!?? lol well i hope i helped .. by the way do not worry about lettin down your team. YOU CANT DO THAT because if you lose, then the WHOLE team lost it for yall. not just one or two persons . just wanted to let you kno there is no "i" in team so dont worry about that okay?

I will be a Senior in my High School this year and I am thinking of running track which will be my 1st year. You will be fine dont put yourself down my thinking that you will let the team down. The team will need all the help they can get and + its good to exercise. Good Luck. ♥ Kate
