no one is stopping you to play both sports. but in order to excel in one, you have to forgo the other. otherwise, you could end up a jack of all trades, master on none.

There is a distinct reason for this. The muscles in your body have been trained to be able to stride out. The way your muscles developed with soccer it is more tuned for running. Its more of an ability to go forward and not up. With basketball you are with more of an enthesis on up and not forward as much. Granted you will sprint but the muscle memory will prevent the ability from doing both very well. If it was another sport like football or cross country that was a bit more complementary it would be much better and easier for you to do. But due to the fact that you need power muscles over lean endurance muscles for this one. If you want a better explanation on this one talk to your coach for basketball to explain the muscle development.

listen,
keep playing both the games and concentrate more on the one you are good at!
if u dont know which one u r gud at then keep playing until someone encourages or discourages u...
if someone encourages u in soccer then keep going on it and u could also practice basketball...
if u c have been encouraged in both then its all up to u which one u should pick!!
LUCK PICK!! haha
MY FAV IS SOCCER...
actually when i started playing soccer,
i kept concentrating and practicing on it,
then in my school they did not have a soccer playing extra activity but they had basketball and many other like science club and stuff!
but then most of my friends took basketball as it was the only one best out of the others!
so we went for it and then slowly my concentration went on b'ball and concentration went from football...
then we started to bunk in those b'ball extra activity and started to stay in the class and play football with a tennis ball in the class!
we all kept an excuse with us as we just loved footballso we just wanted to play that!
so every activity period all of us went to the other class (8b)....(im in 8a) and then after every one went for their activities, we started playing football there and I GAINED MY CONCENTRATION ON FOOTBALL ONCE AGAIN AND NOW IM TOO GOOD AT IT!!!!!!!!!!

To be good at a sport, you will have to spend a lot of time on it. It's always practice makes perfect.
Now if you're sure you won't get too tired practicing at both sports, then go ahead.

Pick a sport you good at, the focus. Just keep practicing and playing.

Don't listen to others. What the hell they know? when i was in high school, I did three sports and did them well. Got hurt and was told I would never play again. I never listen and I was still able to play.

As long as there is no overlap, do them both. If there is an overlap, commit to one or the other.
