Whenever I threw a small tantrum as a kid (up until I was ten or eleven years old), my dad would take me to our living room, hit me and make me cry. Then, he would tell me to pack one set of clothes or sometimes, none at all and maybe, give me a little money and then take me and drop me somewhere random in the middle of the night, leaving me there. His intention was to abandon me but my mother would beg him to bring me back only because I was their first child after 5 years of trying and multiple miscarriages.
A few months ago, I had a major breakdown in front of my parents and I ended up accidentally saying "I want to kill myself", and my dad said "I'm going to call the cops on you".
I've also noticed that my mom constantly manipulates me and both my parents curse at me and talk down to me.
Today, I said I can't go for basketball practice because I have a bunch of assessments to submit and I have matches coming up overlapping with the submission dates so I won't have the time to do a lot of work. My dad dragged me by the hair, started hitting and pushing me and called me a "worthless piece of shit" constantly. Then said, I'm not allowed to date my boyfriend until university EVEN THOUGH I DATED HIM WITH THEIR APPROVAL and they supported it. He took my phone and made me go out with them the entire day while they ran errands just so I would have less time to do my work.
Mind you, I'm 15 and graduating this year, I was bumped up two grades. I do an internship, volunteering and I'm going to start tutoring younger kids to save up money so I can spend on my own things instead of ever asking my parents. I'm also on a scholarship.
I practice everyday, twice a day. I go for my school's girls' practice and boys' practice. I go for club practice, as well. If I don't have practice, my parents make me book a court and practice.
What do I do? I'm tired and they won't even let me go for university abroad so I'm stuck with them for a really long time.

This is clearly child abuse!!
When you reach 18 you can do what you want and what they think and want doesn't matter cause legally you'd be an adult that can do as you please, I'd say just survive until then.
Continue building a future for yourself. Move out as soon as you're old enough to legally move out, then they can't do any more harm to you. You deserve to be happy and to be loved.
Move far away from those terrible people
Be good to yourself
Don't give up
