Good idea to join the team??

Question

i am going to be a junior in high school next year and i was wondering what your opinion was if i joined the team next year. its the kind of thing where everyone gets on but i am going to be kinda old for joining a team. but i really need stuff on my college applications that show that i am more then just good grades. my best friend is a really good tennis player and she said she can teach me and hit with me and another girl from the team said she would be willing to hit with me, so should i do it? does it sound possible?

oh and tennis starts in the spring so that tells u the amount of time i have to do this

please give any advice!

Answer 1

DEFINETELY... I joined the tennis team at my high school my junior year and I am still playing on the team at my college!! As long as your semi-naturally athletic it is a great idea. I had only played in gym class before joining and didn't even know how to keep score or serve, I ended up going to regional and beat people who had been playing for years... you can too!!

Answer 2

Do it for sure cuz im going into high school and im trying out for the team this year so you and me both girl!!

Answer 3

Everything is possible, you just have to take you first step and be consistent. Take a class or learn along with your friend, tennis is for life. Have fun.

Answer 4

do it,

u got plenty of time to practice

also, u never get too old to play

on my team, there about only 3 freshmen, 10 sophmores, and the rest seniors and juniors and on our team there are 25 ppl

if ur friends are helping then its even better

good luck!

Answer 5

It is never too late to start.  And it sounds like you'll have plenty of support.  You just need to be patient with yourself, and do your best.  Work hard, but remember that it is a game, and have fun! Good luck!

Answer 6

i say go for it, join the team :) Keep practising and most important enjoy yourself! Good luck

Answer 7

Never ever play a sport just to put it on your resume. play because you want to have fun.

Answer 8

well, theres no harm in trying right? so just do it, try, if you make it than thats good! good luck!

Answer 9

My initial reaction is yes, join the team.  Bolster your application with some sports.  But just make sure you enjoy yourself.  That is what it is all about.  If your friends are willing to help you, go enjoy it.

Answer 10

I joined the tennis team my junior year(first time ever touching a tennis racket) and was varsity singles player by senior year. You get what you put in it's a h**l of a sport
