For those who are placed in the varsity class, they will be required to come to two open courts if they are not attending drills or go to a camp over the summer. Everyone must have a physical before practice starts on July 31st. We will practice every day that week from 3-5:30, with our first team tennis match scheduled for 8/3 at 3pm at home. We will then have matches every Tuesday-Friday until the middle of October. We will then practice during school Mondays till 4 PM, Tuesday match, Wed out at bell if we are on block day, if not till 3:30, Thursdays on block day 3-4:30 PM, Fridays matches. I would encourage challenge matches over the summer as only the top 8 will normally play in Varsity matches, normally no more than the top 10 so it is important you move up the ladder. If you are placed in the Varsity class, you may still play JV team tennis matches depending on where you are on the ladder. I will give out letters to everyone and then decide who will be moving to the varsity class period. It is not a guarantee you will stay in the varsity class as when we come back for practice on 7/31 I will expect everyone to be ready to play tennis. If not, I can still make changes two weeks after the school year starts. Any questions please ask as I am sure I am not covering everything.
