You have to decide why-is it because you don't like playing on a team? Are you embarrassed of your lack of natural ability? If it's the former, try a sport like kickboxing or swimming, because they are good activities that doesn't involve being a part of a group. If it's the latter, go to a camp or workshop this summer, and if you can't wait that long, ask a friend to teach you or even sign up for lessons.
You shouldn't feel embarassed, first of all, because the fact that you aren't athletic isn't a shortcoming. Do your best in gym, and when you can't do things other can, try to learn. Laugh at your mistakes and feel proud when you do well. Gym is something you can't avoid in high school, so you're going to have to learn to roll with the punches and just do your best. Good luck!

Just like guys look for girls iwth a nice body, girls do the same thing. Trust me, if you have more girls after you than your friends, it'll seem like you have it a lot better.
If you not only have abs, but have the arms, calves, and any other muscles, girls will go crazy after you.
Also, just push your attitude about gym. Act like your too good to be in gym calss. Like it's lower than you or something. Sometimes that kinda thing makes other peopel feel stupid for enjoying something. [ AllieBoo123's advice column | Ask AllieBoo123 A Question ]
runawayxlove answered Thursday February 1 2007, 4:26 pm: hey, well you can do a few things. ask one of your athletic guy friends to help you with sports. ask them for some tips and how to play the games correctly and stuff. if you dont want to learn then just shake it off. when people make fun of you let them know clearly that you know that your not athletic at all and that your fine with it (even if your not). they will stop saying stuff to you if they think that your not bothered by it. the only reason why people bully others is to see the satisfaction of putting someone down. if you dont seem bothered by it, theres no satisifcation.
