Tuff decision to make at your age I'm sure. Getting to the source of your change of heart is important IMO before making your final decision. My DD informed me yesterday morning, 2 hours before bracket play that her stomach didn't feel well and she didn't think she could play!! My DD has always loved softball and plays well enough that she landed a spot on a new team that plays at the highest level(SS/Pitcher). I told the coach we couldn't make it. If my DD says she's too sick to play softball she must really be sick. Long story short, As the day progressed she didn't seem sick but she did seem like something was bothering her. We talked for a while and she told me she wanted to QUIT the travel ball team but keep playing HS ball. After 3 hours of breaking down walls we found out she felt responsible for some of the teams losses because of errors and the pressure was getting to be too much to handle. Worrying about making errors was making her physically sick. For me, this is NOT a reason to quit. This is part of growing up and learning to deal with feeling that seem overwhelming. We convinced her to keep playing and we would find a better way to deal with those feelings and overcome them. Now we have to find out exactly what to do to help her along. Anyone?
To the OP, you should finish what you started and hold off on making a decision until you can identify exactly what it is in you that wants to quit playing. Most coaches are very open to discussion if you have an issue, but just saying "I don't want to play anymore"
without any reason won't start a meaningful conversation with the coach. Dig deeper. Good luck
