Should i do high school tennis?

Question

I played on the team last year, and I didn't have much fun because it was really cliquey and took up a lot of time. I'm not sure that I want to play again this year, but a friend who didn't play last year really wants me to. I'm also not very good, so I'd probably be on the second jv team. Should I do it?

Answer 1

Hello!  I think you should probably do it.  Even though your team is cliquey, but you should do some exercise, right?  Excercise is great for your body and mind.  (Also, you don't get chubby and don't have to go on a diet)  Tennis is great sport.  If you play with friend you will have much more fun than you had last year.  Playing matches also improve your ability to deal with pressure and when you grow up you will absolutely have to deal with pressure, so now is a good time to practice.  Trust me.  Since you say you are not very good, then you can look at this website; it helped me tremendously, and I am sure it will help you too.  Then practice, practice, and practice.  You might even make to varsity, and maybe even number one.  Who knows?  Playing with a friend definitely will make your friendship much better.  You should watch tennis videos on youtube.  Good luck!

Answer 2

yes it is so fun. Playing rival schools going and trying to take state, I love it. I just started last year and i have really worked hard and now i am top JV maybe making varsity next year. so go for it and work hard and if you get good enough you can break up the cliques byeing good and i bnviting everyone. that is what i'm working on so have fun and good luck

Answer 3

Yeah you should, good or not you can only get better with practice....and it defintely builds character, cliquey or not.

Answer 4

If you really want to work on getting better at something then go for it in highschool. Sport friends can become the closest friends you have because they support you during matches and are there no matter what. I agree it can be cliquey but that shouldnt matter if your a good sport. Try playing more over summer before the season starts and maybe you can get better. It shows good school spirit and it would be less stressful on second jv team anyways so it wouldnt be so uptight.

Answer 5

if you love to play go for it.

Answer 6

yes i do its really fun and you can travel a lot it builds confidence and it can deffiantly help a lot when it comes time for college even if your not that good
