I'm 13 years old and I want to start playing soccer.. I used to play when I was about 7 or 8 but then I had to stop playing because not enough people joined the team so it had to get cancelled.. Now my friend told me that there's another team that she's going to play on next season and I can join too. But i'm kind of scared because i'm a little rough right now...

My kicks are alright, but my dribbling isn't very face paced and my pacing is a little inacurate.. And i'm kind of afraid to join because i'm afraid that since i'm new and not as good as some of the other players that the other people on the team might get annoyed with me?

I'm in pretty good shape, and i'm a pretty good runner - came first in grade 7 girls sprinting (100 yards) and 3rd in grade 7 girls long distance (1600 meters). Do you think it's too late for me to join soccer? my dad says it isn't because soccer is pretty easy to pick up (he played for 20 years) if i'm deticated. I play quite a bit during lunch at school and i think it's really fun.

If it matters, I'm currently playing on a Club volleyball team, school track team, school basketball team, and take competitive dance... So i know how to get along with others pretty well.

Also, if anyone could give me any tips on dribbling, kicking harder, and acurate passing, it would help SO much. :) please and thank you!

**also, last time i asked this question, i got alot of people tellign me to worry about my school grades first. fyi, i'm doing really well in school. I got 1 B and the rest A's on my term 2 report card. So when answering this question, please don't mention school. :) and, when it comes to time, I have ALOT of free time on my hands, so don't answer things like "relax, you don't need to do any more" because i do have alot of free time.

Thanks guys! your thoughts would be so appreciated!
