What should i do? do i not help the team or do i?

Question

ok so i started playing volleyball in my sophomore year. im now entering my senior year of high school. i was out all last season due to a back injury that occurred the week before tryouts (i was supposed to be on varsity too) so i was not able to play. i havent played ball in about a year now and im not going to be in town for tryouts. i dont like the new head coach so i was thinking maybe i could be team manager for out JV2 team. i played on this coach's team my first year. do you think i should ask her if i can help out? you know like help shag balls, help with drills etc.? i figure that this way im still around a sport i love but since im not going to be at tryouts i wont be able to make the varsity team.

oh btw, i wasnt going to play at all this year but then i saw people playing at the beach, and it was on tv for the olympics so i realized how much i miss it. if i was in town for tryouts i might actually decide to play but im not so i cant. also the school camp is this week but the new coach added $75 to the price so now its $150. i cant afford it to even go and play.

should i be a team manager or just forget it?

Answer 1

I think you should definately be a team manager.  Why not help out?  Also you might consider talking to the varsity coach to see if you could try out at a different time.  It sounds like you were pretty good if you were supposed to be on varsity last year too.  What have you got to lose?

Answer 2

go for it. if it's something you love then you need to do it. and maybe with a little practice you could be more than a manager. if you don't try out you will regret it in the future, especially since you will have rarely anymore chances to play since your a senior.
