Greetings Parents!
I am excited about the huge number of kids who have registered
for tennis this year. We have 33 kids signed up to participate! Due to the
extremely large size of the team, I am going to have to split the team into two
teams. Each team will be evenly divided, so it won’t be a “Varsity” team with
the better players and a “Junior Varsity” team with the players who are less
experienced. The two teams will play each other and will also play against
other schools.
I am also going to have to change the practice days. One
team will practice after school on Monday and Wednesday and the other team will
practice after school on Tuesday and Thursday. We will have our matches on
Friday afternoons. If your child has a conflict on one of the practice days, I
will work with you so that it isn’t a problem. We will also be playing on a
couple Saturdays. The match schedule is not ready yet. I’m still waiting to
hear back from the other schools’ coaches.
I will have an assistant tennis coach and have already
spoken to the person I have in mind, but this has not been confirmed yet, so
I’ll keep you posted.
In closing, I hope you understand the reasons why I’m
changing the practice schedule. By dividing them into two teams, the kids will
get more attention and be able to improve their tennis skills much more easily
than if there were 33 kids out there on the tennis courts at the same time.
I look forward to a
great tennis season!
Coach Daugherty
