 It is sad that he is still coming even though you are uncomfortable and nervous. But he probably won't notice if you are bad, plus you are probably not as bad as you think. If it goes bad just laugh it off and say well you are still learning. Good on you for trying at sports. Some people give up if they feel they are no good.

 There's nothing wrong with being bad at something as long as you're having fun and passionate about it. I'd personally find it incredibly charming seeing someone I liked continuing to work hard on something they loved. I agree with the below poster about making a joke about it.

 Well that makes two of us, and I suspect thousands more, I suck at sport too. If two left feet and un co-ordination was an Olympic sport I'd be gold medalist. That I'm sure of. I doubt you are as bad as you think and it's not about how good or bad you are, its about doing your personal best and having a bit of fun. If he does come, take a light hearted approach before going on to play and say something like " Don't say I didn't warn you, now I'm off to have some fun, wish me luck" If he makes any rude comments then maybe this boy is not as nice as you think he is. Go girl, go have some fun

 Why is he insisting on coming when you have specifically asked him not to? Does he do other things you have asked him not to?
Are you really as bad as you think or is it just lack of confidence in your abilities?
I think the best way out of this is to make a joke of it and laugh it off. Explain you enjoy playing sport but will never be much good at it (if that is indeed the case).
