Congratulations to Grace White, 1st place 12 - under

Betsy Byrne, runner-up 14 - under

Carolyn Albritton, consolation winner 14-under

What a fun tournament !! Great playing from all of our team members who participated !!

tennis season begins!

Practice begins the week of Tuesday, January 17 !!

We will begin our season by continuing our round robin tournament to determine our playing positions.

We will have a parent meeting on Friday, January 20 at 4:30 in my classroom, room 420. This is my new classroom and is located in the hall between the new and old gyms (right behind the football stadium press box). We will be signing up for drivers for clinics, away matches, snacks and drinks and parent contact. We have 14 players, 7 matches and 1 weekend tournament on our current schedule.

I have the match and practice schedules completed and will distribute to players at school this week.

I am still missing some of the uniform and player eligibility forms. Please remind your child to turn in these forms if they have not already done so.

Tournament !!

We have the opportunity to take 8 players to a Friday / Saturday JV tournament in Huntsville on February 10-11. I am working with Vicki Parish to determine the cost, transportation and hotel accommodations. It will be a doubles tournament and I will have the girls sign up if they would like to play. I will let you know more about this at the parent meeting. The positions will be determined based on rank and player interest.

Tennis Practice begins the week of January 16 3:25 - 5:00!!

It should be a cold beginning to our season so plan accordingly !!

I sent home uniform list in our meeting on Friday. Links are below for Nike, Holloway and Addidas size charts. The warm up is optional. We are using the same dress and skirt as last year. Previous players will only need to purchase new skirt and dress if they need a different size or want a new uniform. Players will need to purchase their own bloomers for the dress. We are going to get a white top this year. I am still working on finding a supplier for the top that some of the 10th grade girls selected for our team. We will get something similar if we are not able to get the exact top. The girls are working on a t-shirt design! Athletic department and myself will approve.

Please turn in your athletic forms that I sent home prior to tryouts if you have not already turned in!

We will have a parent meeting in January to sign up to drive to away matches, snacks / drinks for matches and drivers for our Montgomery Country Club clinics.

The clinics are $28 for the 2 hour session. We usually try to go for around 8 -10 sessions. We will bill these monthly this session vs. the lump sum amount. Uniform fees will be billed on the January bill.

Prattville Christian Academy is hosting a tournament at Lagoon Park on Saturday, December 17. I sent home information regarding this tournament on Friday, as well. I will be out of town celebrating Christmas with my family in Georgia, but I would love anyone to participate that is able.

jv girls tennis tryouts: fall evaluation

2011-2012 jv girls tennis tryouts will begin on Monday, November 7 - Thursday, November 10!

The time will change this weekend and we will hold our tryouts from 3:30-5:00. We will not meet on Friday due to the Veterans Day holiday. Please send girls with a healthy snack and drink. I will have extra water for the girls, as well. We will playing on all 6 courts to get in as many matches as possible each day.

Best of luck to all of our returning girls! Our tryouts will help determine the beginning line up for our first match. We will continue to use the challenge match system to determine the line up as our season progresses. I have encouraged the girls to get together and play in some of the USTA Jr. Tennis tournaments in our area.
