Dear Coach [Coach's last name],
I am writing to request permission to miss six lacrosse games during April break, from [Start Date] to [End Date]. Our school is offering an incredible opportunity to travel to China during this time, a trip I've been looking forward to for a long time and have been saving up for. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I'm very excited about and would be deeply disappointed to miss.
I understand this would mean missing six important lacrosse games, and I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause the team. I'm committed to the team and will do everything I can to minimize the impact of my absence. Before the trip, I plan to [mention specific actions, e.g., "attend extra practices," "work with a teammate on drills I can do independently," "study game film to stay updated on strategies"]. Upon my return, I will be ready to contribute fully and will work even harder to catch up on any missed material.
I would be grateful if you would consider my request. I value my place on the team and appreciate your understanding. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
