Where is a good place to learn how to play sports?

I'm a 15-year-old boy and my relationship with my father isn't very good, so I wasn't really ever taught how to play most sports, including basketball, football, baseball, soccer, etc... It's really embarrassing and has kind of taken a toll on my confidence, and I feel isolated from a lot of the guys at my school, even though most of them are my friends. Where is a good place to learn how to play sports without looking like an idiot? Any information at all is greatly appreciated.

1. YMCA, Church Youth Group, Big Brothers.... There are a lot of people out there who are talented in many other ways but lack the natural sports talent. Learn the rules of the games online, in a book, or by watching TV. Then, if you don't feel comfortable joining one of the groups above, select a few REAL friends (that won't make fun of you) and suggest a weekend game day. YMCA would be good for this too since they would have all of the equipment. Good Luck Buddy!!!
