Should I even join a school sports team?

Question

I'm going to middle school (7th grade) and wanna join a sport ( volleyball or soccer)

I can walk or go to the after school bus for practice, but i dont have a ride to go home for BIG games ( like going to diffrent districts) and my brother said that if you miss 3 games or practices that you're off the team. Please i need suggestions if its worth joining a school sports team

Answer 1

Its is defiantly worth it! I played volleyball and basketball from 6th- 8th grade and I am glad that I did. It helped me meet some of the students who were in other grades, make friends, and helped keep me on honor roll. If rides are a problem talk to friends or your coach about a ride.

Answer 2

get a ride home from the coach or someone on the team... i do that all the time

Answer 3

your brother is right. If your situation is having no ride and not getting a safe trip home,  then i wouldnt even try out.

Answer 4

it's definitely worth it...

It's good for college...

and it helps you make more friends..and stuff... ^^

Get a ride from someone!

Answer 5

That's a decision YOU make. If you really like the sport and are willing to devote the time and take on the responsibility of being on that team, go for it. Sports are good hobbies, good ways to stay in shape, and a good way to be social.

The first guy's not really right. Colleges don't pay attention to the fact that you played soccer/volleyball in the 7th grade. In highschool, it can greatly affect your chances of getting into a certain college.

As for your problems in getting home, carpool with a friend.
