Rain, Match-Tiebreakers, and Teams

Dear Mac High Tennis Fans,

Wednesday was rainy again, and we had about 35 tennis hopefuls working hard on the track/courts that afternoon. After some fun on the track we took advantage of some dry weather and played some doubles bump. Luckily, today (Thursday, February 25) we were blessed with some excellent (DRY!) weather, and were able to get all 38 kids out there playing match tiebreakers. From 3:45-7:30pm kids played between 2-3 tiebreakers to 10 points and did an excellent job adapting to the windy and chilly conditions. With that being said, the kids showed great promise and poise out on the courts.

As a result of 4 days of tennis try-outs, we are pleased to announce the following teams for the 2010 Spring Season of the McMinnville High School Boys Tennis Program:

2 Days Down, Many More to Go!

Yesterday (Monday, February 22, 2010) was a great start to the 2010 Spring Tennis Season! We had 28 brave souls show up for 2, 1-hour sessions of try-outs. The kids performed well, showed a great desire to compete for the McMinnville High School tennis program, and showed off some awesome tennis shots. The weather wasn't so nice today as the the same two groups showed up for some fun, fitness activities! The kids showed great effort as they ran, jogged, and sprinted through the constant rainfall. A great effort today and tomorrow will be even better! I just hope the weather holds up for us so we can get on court another day this week!

Less than a week away!

Well, we're less than a week away from the start of try-outs. I'm excited for the season to being and I know it will be a great spring season for us! Make sure you get signed up and registered before next Monday, February 22nd, so you can play! See you out on the courts!
