    Quit.

    No point in using a roster spot for someone who doesn't want to be there.

    Particularly a drama queen.

    I play softball, and I love it. I'm not the best on the team, but I still devote nearly all my time and energy to it. However, I can understand how it can not be as fun after a while. I think that if you don't really like it anymore, maybe you should reconsider playing it. And I would NOT recommend playing on a team where you hate someone that much. That's basically a disaster waiting to happen. Plus, when a twelve inch softball might be speeding towards you, I think you'd rather trust someone you like rather than someone you're not so keen about. Plus, your family shouldn't be able to make you do something you don't like. If anything, they should be proud of you for stepping down from something you don't enjoy. They'll see that you're responsible, and can make your own decisions based on how YOU feel. My little sister just quit softball this year and is looking at joining track. My family and I were really supportive and are excited to go to some of her meets! And don't get worried about telling everyone. They should be mature enough to handle you simply telling them you're not going to be doing a sport. Not even your coach should be mad-- they probably saw your disinterest in the sport, and would rather have you enjoying yourself out on the field than forcing yourself to play. And if anyone can't handle you leaving the team, then they can deal with it. They need to learn to allow others to think for themselves and make their own decisions.

    Ignore her, play your game, and love what you do. If so, see how your love for the game is on the team you play for, that doesn't involve her. If you think you love the sport, stay with it, you never know, it may turn into a career. Life is full of regrets, you don't want to make too many, especially, because some snooty girl forced you to. However with that being said, if you find yourself still hating softball, you'll have to tell your family one way or another. Let them down gently, tell them you're willing to workout and gyms for the fact you want to stay in shape. This way they'll feel okay that you still take care of yourself athletics wise, and regardless, they're your parents, at the end of the day they support your decisions 24/7. Good Luck, and hope this helped!

    If you are really good and have been with it for a long time keep going. But if you really hate it and can't stand to play then quit.

    Try to ignore your old friend. If she is the reason you want to quit just either ignore her or change teams!

    It will be better for everyone you come in contact with for you to quit softball. call a group meeting and tell everybody at the same time. done.

    Please don't quit because of your friend. Thats stupid. If your really good and enjoy it, just try and ignore her. BUT if your a friend is just a plus and you actually hate the sport and aren't enjoying it at all, I would assume your family would want whatever makes you happy.
