Be aware of the match schedule and the release time from class. For early release from class, please let your instructor know at the BEGINNING of class (before the bell rings) when you need to leave.
Matches are for the entire team! Please plan on being at every match for your team.
At a match the coaches present their line-ups: 3 singles players and 3 doubles teams from each school followed by alternates. Each round is 6 match ups: 3 singles matches and 3 doubles matches (all schools have at least 6 tennis courts). Players can be substituted out for another player to come in and play, but once taken out that player cannot be placed back in the match.
Tryouts
Tryouts are held the first week of school, Tuesday – Thursday from 3:45 – 6:00 pm. If you are interested in playing on the team, please be practicing and have knowledge of the game, skills and strokes involved in tennis as well as scoring. You must also have your ATHLETIC CLEARANCE completed before tryouts. Start here for the clearance process.
Parent Meeting – mandatory – for girls and their parents will be held on the Thursday after tryouts at 6:00pm in Coach Hall’s classroom, Room 105 in the Math & Science Bldg.
