Need help with high school basketball!

Question

i'm going to high school this year, so grade 8, and i wanna make the grade 9 or grade 10 girls basketball team. i'm pretty good and i think i can make the team but the problem is my dad. he knows that i'm good but he still doesn't like me playing basketball at all. first i use to play soccer and he made me give up on it and now i'm playing basketball and he wants me to let go of that too. but i don't care, i'll still play. but if i join the team there's gonna be a lot of practices and games which end late at night and he comes from work early. i wanna be on the team really badly but i'm not allowed cuz of my dad, SO WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Tyler C, how rude!

I think you should do what you think is best. If you like basketball that much then you should tryout for the basketball team. Talk to your dad and tell him you love to play basketball. I think he'll understand.

Cheers!

Answer 2

still go for the team. and if u make it then ask a friend or team mate if they cant help u when it comes to rides. cuz if u love the game why give it up...

Answer 3

Hey, its a great idea to go for basketball especially during 9th grade because that is when you have it easy, plus it'll look good on your college applications. Yes, the practices are going to be a pain in the a**, because some schools have practices late at night and it really just causes so much inconvenience. But if you really enjoy basketball, and have a passion for the game, it'll all be worth it once the season starts. So just have a talk with your dad, I'm sure he'll understand.

Answer 4

he should let you play dont let him stop you from doing something you like to do. He should be supportive of what you like to do. Tell him this and he will realize that you love basketball and you wont quit.

Tell your mom if she supports you in basketball and maybe she will tell yo daddy a lil sumthin about letting you play basketball. Im pretty sure that if you let him know how you feel about basketball he will let you play.

Good Luck

Answer 5

if you want to play your dad should let you play! he shouldnt keep you from doing something you love

Answer 6

Go with your heart and try to reason with your dad and explain how important this is to you! DO NOT listen to tyler c. (he was never hugged by his dad as a child and now is a douche)

Your dad should understand how you feel but be as rational as possible and ask him how he feels about why he doesnt want you to play sports! If you want it bad enough then you can do it and you'll be great!

Answer 7

Just go tryout and s***w your dads selfish behavior. Ask him why, and if he doesnt give you a reasonable answer than the h**l with him. People shouldn't hold a person back from what they love to do. It's your life, you might as well live it. Beside im sure he cant do anything once you make the team. He could talk to your coaches after but im sure they will understand where you are coming from and try their best to keep you on the squad.
