Your just like most of us, you don't what to do something until your doing it.
Study the game and ask questions if you don't know what they are talking about so you and your teammates will be on the same page, but make sure above everything you have fun! And I know you will.
Please check back in with us in the middle of softball or track season and tells us how you’re doing good or bad.
If you never try, you've all ready lost, so get out there and try and make new friends and have fun at the same time. That’s a big part of life it to try.
Keep smiling and remember to thank your dad when you find your having the time of your life playing sports.

Maybe he just wants you to be involved because it does pay off to be in sports in high school. And if you join the team/ try out what ever you have to do and make it then the coaches will teach you what you gotta do. and in time you will get better.. Dont worry so much about it cutie =]. I thought i was going to be horrible at softball but i tried it and im actually pretty good now.. Ive been playing since i was 10 so i kinda know where youre comming from

At 11 everyone should be in the learning stages for those sports. My DD started softball at 10 (2 years ago). Both years that she's played her team started out with some girls who had played before and some who were just starting out. And oh man, track has a ton of different things you can try to see if you like them. Long races and sprints, hurdles and relays, field events from jumping to throwing...
It's a good thing to try things and find out if you like them. Talk to your dad and see what his plan is. Most parents just want their kids to be active and find things they might like. Talk to him about your fears and give a commitment to 1 season of each with the option to try something else if you don't like them.

The freako before me is just blabbering. Tell him you dont want too. Tell him your reasons.
P.s. How can you be playing track and softball at the same time? Arent they at the same time during the year?

Fake twisting your ankle, then you won't have to do it. Your dad sounds like he wants to live vicariously thru you.
Or, while you are at practice, pretend to faint (make sure to fall on grass and not concrete, don't hit anything on the way down). Then tell them that you couldn't breathe or say you think you have asthma or something. Just don't use an inhaler if they give you one. Or fake a heart condition, say you got real dizzy and that your vision got all gray and you woke up and found yourself on the ground. That way your dad will feel guilty and not make you do sports.

That's a tough one. Do you have an aunt or uncle who you can confide in who could maybe speak to your dad for you? If not, is your dad unapproachable? Can you talk to him about things? My daughter and I have open communication and can talk about anything. I might not like what she has to say sometimes but I'm still glad she can talk to me. At least give it a try. Good luck, sweetie.

just tell you dad politely, that you don't think you are good at those sports and that you don't really like them. I have troubles talking to my dad becasue I don't see him as often as my mom. but I think this is an easy subject to talk about to your dad.

It sounds like this is all new for you. Give it all a try. Sports offers young people lessons in preparation, competition, teamwork and friendships. Not all of us can be chapions, but we all learn valuable lessons.

just do it it might be fun. Or find a sport you do like and tell him you wold rather do that. for example cheerleading or gymnastics might be more your thing or maybe soccer.
