I’ve played many sports in my childhood, one of which is soccer. Freshman year is a quarter of the way done and soccer tryouts r next week. I love golf and tennis, but not so much soccer. I really don’t want to take soccer to the high school level but im pretty sure my parents ont approve. Any tips on how I should approach my parents on quitting soccer?

tell your parents you arent playing soccer
its your choice
they dont like it? what are they gonna do, chain you to the soccer field?
Just do really badly in the tryouts so you won’t make it
tell them that none of your teammates is gay, and you feel out of place
Just tell your parents, sit down and talk with them. It also helps to have an alternative sport during the soccer season, so if you do it shouldnt be too hard.
soccer sucks
Just sit them down and tell them how you feel
Approach them at a time when they’re comfortable and explain to them that soccer isn’t something you truly enjoy and that you’d like to pursue your greater interests.
Say, "Mom, Dad, I’m not going to play soccer anymore. It’s not what I love. If you want me to be happy you will accept my decision."
"mom, dad, soccer sucks balls and i want to quit"
try kicking a ball thru the living room window when they are trying to watch tv. Then come in all flustered and say "see? I suck at this-I quit."
Just tell them you don’t want to play and that when your not playing soccer you can work on your golf swing. And if your rents are real AHoles and they make you go to try outs, just play as bad as you possibly can so you don’t make the team.
Tell them that you want to try out other sports, like gold and tennis, but in order to do that you must give up soccer, as it would be TOO MUCH for you to handdle. I’m sure they will understand.
when quitting something, give them a GOOD REASON WHY, as parents are more understanding when there is a reason behind it, not just "IM QUITTING BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT".
sounds like you already get enough exercise, so there doesn’t seem to be much of a reason to keep doing it if you do like it.
talk with them about it, make sure they’re alright with it.
if you’re living with them another 4 years you have to be civil with another…
good luck, dont let them force you into it if they dont have a good reason
Tell your parents the truth. You don’t want to play anymore. It’s not like you don’t have other interest.
just tell them that u dont like soccer…. its ur choice anyways, on what sport ur wanting to play…. i think they will understand
Just be straight with them and let them know that you just aren’t enjoying soccer as much. I would say with school, tennis and golf you are doing well. Remember community service is important during your HS years also, maybe you can compromise leaving soccer by doing volunteer work. It is a must for college apps. these days.
They will understand and why are you quiting soccer the real football
Maybe you could pick a fall sport that you want to do instead of soccer. You could tell your parents that you don’t want to play soccer but you’ll still get enough exercise because your playing….whatever new sport you want. You could play football or run cross country.
before the tryouts try going golfing or playing tennis with your parents. if they see that you seem happier while playing either of these rather than playing soccer, maybe that will help. also try going for a walk with them and talking to them.
Tell them that this is no longer something you love to do.
By the way, why don’t you try your hand at basketball or something a bit more masculine in nature?
Just be honest and upfront with your parents. Explain to them that you prefer golf and tennis to soccer.
You may also tell them that you believe a sport like golf could help you network in the future, depending on what type of career you plan to follow in the future.
