Week of April 4th, 2016

Greetings to All,

Our Stingrays had a great week of practice last week. This week we have a match on Monday (tomorrow), practice on Tuesday, and another match on Wednesday.

Monday's match is against Sebastian River Middle School, beginning at 4 p.m. Players need to be there as close to 3:45 as possible, in order to warm up. The match will be held at the Sebastian River High School's tennis courts. You should park in the East Parking Lot between the High School and the Performing Arts Center. The courts are behind the high school, so park in back. Make sure your child brings something to drink, either water or a sports drink such as Gatorade. It would also be a good idea to have an apple or a banana to eat between matches.

Tuesday is a practice day, after school at Storm Grove, until 4:45.

Wednesday we have another match, this one against Gifford Middle School. The match will be held at the Vero Beach Tennis Club in Timber Ridge. To get there, heading south on US1, turn right on Oslo Road (there is a light at that intersection with a Publix on the left and a Walgreen's on the right. Cross Old Dixie and the railroad tracks and head west less than a half mile. Turn right into Timber Ridge. There is a church at the entrance. Continue along that drive about 1/4 of a mile and the tennis club will be on your right with ample places to park. Make sure your child has lots to drink and a snack.

Players may wear their team shirts to school on days that we have matches, or they can keep them clean and not wear them. Your choice.

As always, thank you for your support of the tennis team at Storm Grove Middle. See you tomorrow in Sebastian!

Coach Daugherty
