Tennis Update: April 18, 2019

Hello Parents!

Friday (tomorrow) we have a match against Oslo Middle School and St. Helen’s. The match will be played at the Vero Beach Tennis Club at Timber Ridge. Players should get there between 3:30 and 3:45 to warm up. We will start match play at 4 p.m. and we will be done between 5:30 and 6:00. To get to the VBTC at Timber Ridge (from SGMS), head south on 58th, all the way to Oslo Road (9th St. SW). Turn left on Oslo Road, then head east about 5 miles. Drive past the traffic lights at 43rd, 27th, 20th and then look for the church on the left, about a mile east of 20th. It is called Morning Star Church. There will be a sign saying Timber Ridge. Turn left there and follow the road slowly until you reach the Vero Beach Tennis Club on the right.

I have a request. Is it possible that parents can take turns providing drinks and snacks for kids for the matches? I understand it is short notice and for some it would be a hardship, but I just wanted to put this request out there. Thank you very much for your consideration.

As always, thanks for your support. Hope to see you all on Friday!

Greetings Parents,

We had a good practice yesterday and today's weather forecast looks good so I'm looking forward to another good practice today. Tomorrow (Friday) we have our first match of the year against Gifford Middle School. The match will be played at Grand Harbor Golf and Beach Club.

To get to Grand Harbor from Storm Grove, turn right on 58th Ave, turn left on 53rd St, cross US1, and turn right on Indian River Boulevard. The Grand Harbor entrance will be 1/2 mile down Indian River Boulevard on the left. It is a gated community. At the gate you will need to tell them your child's name and whoever else is in your car. Tell them you are there for the Middle School tennis match. They will have a list of all of the players on the team. They will give you a permit to enter and give you directions to the tennis facility.

The match is scheduled between 4 and 6. Some of the team may finish by 5:30 but not all will be done by that time. If your child cannot play tomorrow because of a conflict, please send me an email to let me know.

Thanks and see you tomorrow at Grand Harbor!

Coach Mike

Stingray Tennis Update: April 3, 2019

Hello Parents!

Due to the large turnout, we have split practice days into two different groups. One group practices on Mondays and Wednesday after school until 4:30. The other group practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school until 4:30.

The M/W group only has 9 kids in that group. The T/Th has 15. So it would be great if 2 or 3 more kids could somehow change their practice schedule from T/Th to M/W, but no big deal if schedules won't allow it.

Our first match of the season was scheduled for this Friday, April 5th, but due to a couple rainy days of missed practice, we have rescheduled this match to Friday, April 19th. Same place. Same time.

That's it for now. Thanks for your support and see you soon!

Coach Mike
