Whew! So much going on - this is going to be a busy week for the Stingray Tennis Team!
Wednesday, April 10, we are playing a "make-up" match against Sebastian River Middle, at The Boulevard Tennis Club, located on the corner of 45th Street and Indian River Boulevard. Players need to report no later than 3:45. This is a make-up match for the match that was started last Friday, but got rained out after one hour of play. We are going to start all over, meaning that the matches that were completed before the rain came, do not count.
All members of the team will play, either singles or doubles, in some cases both.
Saturday, April 13, we are playing against Gifford Middle School at 12 Noon. The match will be played at the Vero Beach Tennis Club, located in Timber Ridge, between Oslo Road and 20th Street. Players need to report between 11:30 and 11:45, no later than 11:45.
I am going to try to get some pictures to post on this page. Parents, if you take any pictures, please forward them to me at lcctennispro@yahoo.com.
We encourage parents to attend the matches, but please remember that it is inappropriate and unsportsmanlike to coach your children during match play. Also remember that tennis is not like football or basketball, in that you cannot shout out during a match. You can give sign language, but be careful of what you say. Opponents might not like it and opponents' parents might find it offensive. You can clap after a good shot, but you shouldn't clap after an opponent's error. So be careful.
I stopped by Hidden Palms today to see some of the GMS/Oslo tennis match. GMS is definitely loaded with talent and they are the most talented of all of the middle schools in this county. Oslo is good, too, but Gifford has several players that are tournament tough. Be forewarned, we will be big underdogs on Saturday.
That's all for now. Thank you for your continued support of the tennis program.
Sincerely,
Coach Daugherty
