Aria had never considered herself very athletic, but neither was she not. It was usually her lack of social skills (or lack of wanting to socialize) that kept her away from team sports, but had been convinced by her mother (see: Té) to try out on the off-chance that she found some friends. Of course, she hadn't expected there to be many ladies roaming the quidditch pitch at tryouts, but save for a handful of students, there were a bunch of girls!
In fact, there was only one boy remaining on the Gryffindor quidditch team at all - Gillenwater, a boy in the year below her - after the remaining boys had graduated, and Aria suspected that this team would quickly turn into the underdogs. (And rather than encourage her, that fact was enough to make her consider walking off. How was she supposed to fit in if her entire team were the laughing stocks of the school?)
Once she mounted her broomstick and took to the skies, she almost regretted her decision. Almost. She continued on for the first trial - keeper - before landing on the ground and preparing for the second.
