Do you think they would let me on soccer team?

I've decided that I really want to play on my highschool's soccer team this fall. I tried out in Freshman year, got on the JV2 team (there's three teams: varsity, JV and JV2), but dropped out because I was too stressed and wasn't enjoying playing. Since then, I've been doing drama and clubs and not playing any sports.

However, with more free time this year and more desire to play, I think I can handle being on the team. I just don't know if they'll let me. Not only is there my history of dropping out freshman year, I also have some commitments that would cause me to miss up to three games and the first two tryouts (out of ten). There was also a summer training program that was supposed to get all the players in shape, but I've missed it already.

When I list out all the problems like that, it seems like there's zero chance I can make the team. I'm not worried about them rejecting me because I'm not skilled or something (because everyone who tries out gets on the team, basically) but what do you guys think? Does it seem like too much? I bet they probably won't even remember me from freshman year, since they barely saw me at all, but do the current conflicts make it impossible?

    You will never know unless you ask. All they can do is say no.

    I think it is only fair to tell them everything about your other commitments.
