To quit or not to quit...

<p>Yea. So basically my family and I always look at the upcoming schedule for the next week at lunch on Sundays. We noticed that everyday for the next two weeks after school I have Tennis Meets, taking up the time slot of 4:00-8:00 every night. (Including missing school to travel, making it sometimes 2:00-10:00...)</p>

<p>Because of all those meets, I can't attend any AP review sessions, and I wont be able to attend any of my other ECs. I wouldn't be able to start my HW until late and I'm afraid I'd be too tired to do it and I'd get behind. I've already had to compromise my time with tennis a little bit this year due to having (more important IMO) things to do. </p>

<p>I feel like instead of only attending half of those meets, which would **** the coach off (and I'd stay JV the rest of my years with the team) that I should just drop it and not waste both of our time.</p>

<p>It sucks having so many things to do.</p>

<p>Do you guys think I should drop it? Or should I "tough" it out? What would you guys do?</p>

<p>Edit: It's important to note, I never played tennis for the college application. I will still play it in the summer/with friends, but just not on the team.</p>

<p>aww that sounds like my tennis team :/</p>

<p>We missed 2 days a week, every week for a month. and the month before that, we missed every friday for a month. it wasn’t fun at all… and I have lots of other EC’s to do, just like you.</p>

<p>I’m on the Varsity team as a freshman (I’m pretty good… not like national level, but state). I toughed it out… but I’m not taking any AP’s (not offered to underclassman). But I’m quitting tennis after the required 2 years of PE so I can focus on acting.</p>

<p>If there is something you could spend your time on that’s more important, and if you think you’re loosing something while playing tennis, then quit.</p>

<p>Gotta love spring sports…assuming you are a junior here, your grades are infinitely more important than your tennis, for now…
and since you are on JV, not sure it would really matter anyway…</p>

<p>If you love tennis (the way my daughters do), you will be playing the rest of your life; most, if not all, colleges have intramural and/or club teams…</p>

<p>full disclosure here: my older daughter had this EXACT decision to make during her junior year (lacrosse) and she was on Varsity; quit lacrosse to keep up her grades…all worked out in the end…</p>

<p>In life your always setting priorities - It doesn’t sound like casual team tennis is your priority anymore… Move on quickly, but use your time wisely because you never get more of it…</p>
