I've never really participated in sports as a child, which I regret greatly because many kids I know have been actively engaged in various sports ever since they were little and so are great at them now. Only last year, I timidly joined my high school's lacrosse team as my first ever team sport experience, but I got deflated and even more uncertain about my athletic abilities. Everybody was better than me and were all friends with each other while I was left alone all by myself. The coaches turned condescending soon after they saw that my self-esteem was low and that I didn't exactly have any particular skill for them to use me in the game fields. I quickly gave up and it's become such a horrible memory to me. Now the new school year is coming up and I'm afraid to try out for tennis (I've been going to tennis camps during this summer even though it's the first time I'm playing) or field hockey (my mom suggests me joining the freshman FH team since our school doesn't have freshman tennis and I won't make JV.) What should I do? I don't wanna be humiliated if I ever join a sports team but I still like playing tennis and would like to try new sports like field hockey.
Oh, I'm going into ninth grade this year. Sorry, I played lacrosse in middle school, that was a typo.

Scotland’s Paul Lawrie shot a terrific final-day 65 to win the Qatar Masters and continue his fine start to 2012.
The 1999 Open winner finished four strokes clear of Australia’s Jason Day and Sweden’s Peter Hanson.
The Doha tournament
after strong winds allowed only three hours of play on Friday.
Lawrie, who carded 69 and 67 in the first two rounds, also earned top 10 finishes in last month’s Volvo Golf Champions and Abu Dhabi Championship.

Carlos Tevez was a guest but did not play in his former Argentina team-mate Martin Palermo’s farewell match on Saturday in Buenos Aires.
There had been reports that Manchester City striker Tevez had agreed to play in the benefit game for Boca Juniors favourite Palermo at the Bombonera stadium. Striker Palermo retired last year, and the 38-year-old was feted by many former team-mates.
However Tevez limited his appearance to a half-time salute to supporters of the club where he began his career as a teenager, who responded, according to a report on the La Nacion newspaper website, by chanting, “Leave the English and come back here”.
The Argentinian’s future remains the subject of great interest, as he has not played for City since becoming embroiled in a dispute with the… Continue reading Tevez a guest at Palermo farewell
England’s new-look side gave interim coach Stuart Lancaster the best possible start by claiming a first win at Murrayfield in eight years.
Charlie Hodgson’s charge-down try at the start of the second half plus eight points from the boot of debutant Owen Farrell left Scotland ruing a series of blown try-scoring chances.
England’s inexperienced players came through their baptism of fire with great fight and resolve, despite waves of Scottish pressure.
Dan Parks landed two penalties but dithered with his clearing kick to hand Hodgson and… Continue reading Scotland 6-13 England

Well, first of all, you’ll be a sophomore, correct? If so, you won’t be eligible for your field hockey’s freshman team. Unless of course, you’re in a different state than me and it’s run differently.
Depending on where you live (west coast or east coast), field hockey can be a great sport to start in high school. Most people on the east coast have been playing field hockey throughout their childhood. On the west coast, most people don’t start playing until their freshman or sophomore year.
To be honest, if I were in your situation, I wouldn’t play a sport that requires specific skills that your peers have gained over the years, such as tennis. I have nothing against tennis; it’s just that everyone will have much more experience than you. Normally, I would suggest sports like cross country, track, dive, swim, and field hockey because they’re very easy to pick up on compared to sports like tennis, basketball, baseball/softball, and volleyball.
Also, don’t worry about humiliating yourself. I know, that’s easier said than done. You just have to go out there, focus on your goal, work your heart out, and show the coach your commitment to the team. If you can do that, you deserve a spot on the team. If you don’t make it or whatever, at least you can honestly say you tried your hardest.
Don’t sweat it. Whenever i was in middle school, i really wanted to try out for soccer (i’d never been on a team.), but i was afraid of everyone Else’s skill level compared to mine, and it was out of 100 people trying out, and only like 25 people would be drawn. So, i ended up trying out and i got picked, as it turned out i was actually really good at soccer, and i loved it, but i just didn’t have the time to spare, so i finished up the year and didn’t do it again.
Go for it (:
Sometimes teachers and coaches can be even bigger bullies than the other students. Why not try to find a sport to play thats not at school? It might be a little harder to find a place to play tennis. But its not impossible. My school dosn’t offer tennis. But there was a college in my area that did tennis lessons to kids and teens. So I played there for a while
I don’t do tennis anymore, but I’m currently doing TaeKwonDo, gymnastics, and kickboxing. None of those are at my school.
If you want to try a new sport, martial arts may be a good option for you. It shouldn’t be that hard to find a TaeKwonDo or Karate studio. Its a lot of fun! And martial arts teach integrity and respect. So its good and positive environment to work out in.
There are plenty of sports you can play without playing them at school. Just do some searching.
