End of the Season Banquet

Dear Parents,

Regarding this Saturday's End-of-Season Banquet, the plan is to do awards first, then eat lunch, then play a little social tennis. We will start at 12 Noon and finish by 2 p.m. Players need to wear their uniforms and bring their racquets. Please have your child at the Boulevard Tennis Club no later than 11:50. The Boulevard is on the corner of 45th Street and Indian River Boulevard. We played two matches there this year, the first one that was rained out, and the make-up, the next week.

See you Saturday.

Coach Daugherty

PS I just realized I didn't post the results of our last match. We won, 5-2. Leading the way for the Stingray Tennis Team were Logan Woody and Chloe Schlitt, who each posted wins in Singles and Doubles. Also winning for the Stingrays were: Christian Corby, Shannon McLeod, Sara McKilligan, and Benjamin Baker. Congratulations to everybody. I had a great time coaching this team!

Saturday's Match, May 11, 2013


Our last match of the year is this Saturday, against Oslo Middle School. The match will be played at the Vero Beach Tennis Club and is scheduled for 12 Noon. Please have your child there no later than 11:45. I know that 4 of our players will not be there because of a chorus conflict in Orlando, so we need everyone else to show up so that we can field a team.

To get to the Vero Beach Tennis Club from 17th Street and US1, go south on US1 to Oslo Road. Turn right. Go through the light at Old Dixie and turn right at the church (look for the sign saying "Timber Ridge"). The address is 702 Timber Ridge Trail. We have played there once already this year, so if you went to that match, you may not need these directions.

If there is a threat of the match being rained out, we won't cancel the match until we know for certain that the courts will not be playable, so please be patient. Check your email one last time at 11:15 to see if there is an update from me. If you don't see one, the match is a go.

See you on Saturday!

Coach Daugherty

PS Be sure to bring LOTS to drink, as it will be hot. Sports drinks are ideal, but water is good, too.

Stingray Tennis Update, May 6, 2013

We played two matches last week, losing the first one to a very strong Gifford Middle School team, and coming back to tie Sebastian River Middle 7-7 on Friday.

This week is the last week of the season. There was a practice scheduled for Wednesday, but it is cancelled, due to the fact that I will be out of town this week with my father who is terminally ill. I will be back for our match on Saturday, against Oslo Middle School. The match will be played at the Vero Beach Tennis Club and is scheduled for 12 Noon. Please have your child there no later than 11:45. I know that 4 of our players will not be there because of a chorus conflict in Orlando, so we need everyone else to show up so that we can field a team.

To get to the Vero Beach Tennis Club, go south on US1 to Oslo Road. Turn right. Go through the light at Old Dixie and turn right at the church (look for the sign saying "Timber Ridge"). The address is 702 Timber Ridge Trail.

See you on Saturday!
