I want to play soccer but....?

Question

I've always been a shy girl when it comes to meeting new people and I've never played soccer or any sport in my life. I tried boxing for about 3 weeks and I quit. I am 16 years old and I am entering as a junior at this high school that I am new to. I know some people that go there because of elementary and middle school but we're not close friends or anything. I want to do something different this year -- something for ME, but I'm scared of what the girls on the team will think of me. What if I suck at soccer and nobody wants me on the team? What do I do? Any advice? Is soccer hard to learn?

Answer 1

Don't worry you're new the coach will understand that. I have played soccer for about five years now i am in love with. and with the girks just be yourself!!!! :-)

Answer 2

Soccer is'nt really a complicated game to learn.... i play soccer. There are the worst players on the team, but nobody holds it against them. We all play hard when we need to, and work well as a team. You don't nessicarily need friends on your team if that's what your worried about. When i go to training, i concentrate on the game, and improving, not the other girls messing around. It is a great sport and I truely would go for it. :)

Answer 3

Everyone sucks when they start something for the first time, that's no reason not to start at all. Go for it. If nobody wants you on the team at first, then all that means is you have a challenge on your hands to change their minds.  

Answer 4

girrrl! what do you have to lose? im a player of two years. soccer has grown on me and has played a tremendous role in my life. when i first started, i was also shy and CLUELESS about the sport. now, im  playing on a local club team and friends with them all! when i first started off, i was a complete WRECK! i made mistakes.. alot of them.. but as soccer being a TEAM SPORT, the other girls accepted me and taught and developed me to the soccer player i am today... what im tryna say is, dont be afraid to get yourself out there and play. maybe you'll discover you have natural talent and if not, dont let yourself get down and always try harder. if you wanna be on top of the game, i suggest you train yourself. challenge yourself, do whatever it takes to get better. always have faith, determination and perserverance.

Answer 5

i play soccer also and i am a very shy person too. i dont really have any friends on my team but if u are really dedicated then you will have on the field. it is not hard to learn at all as long as you dont care of what other people think of you. i was made fun of wheneveri made a mistake but i just kept playing and i was really happy when i was playing a soccer game cuz i knew i was ready and on the field every one comes together and works as a team. u should totally do it. srry if i wrote too much
