Do you want to play over Spring Break?

3/26/2013

1 Comment

 
A few girls have said they want to hit over Spring Break, but they don't know who else is staying in town.  So, if you are looking for someone to hit with, here's what you can do:
1.  Post a comment on this blog.  
2.  Include your name and when you can play.  
3.  Then, other players can leave comments to set something up with you.  

Hopefully the weather will be nice enough to allow outdoor play.  In any case, I hope you all enjoy your week off from school.  Have lots of fun, but don't do anything stupid:)
-Coach Schwallier

West Ottawa Takes 2nd at WO Invite

3/23/2013

2 Comments

 
Parents / Players,

Thanks for all coming out yesterday to the Invitational.  It was a very long, but a good day.  I always post results after events so you can see how each individual flight did, who your opponents were, complete team results, etc.  Here's how you get there:

1.  Go to "Women's Varsity".
2.  Go to "Results / Photos".
3.  Go to "2013 - Complete Season Results / Photos".
4.  Click on the event you wish to check results for.  

Also, parents who took pictures, email them to me so I can post some photos of the event.  It's easy for all of the events to become a blur after a while if you don't have photos to look back at.  

Finally, a thank you to all the parents for the great food and drinks all day long.  Everything was great, and it always is.  Nan, thank you for my "turning 30" photo.  I can't say I'm thrilled to be saying goodbye to my 20's, but I've found that life in general just keeps getting better and better for me, so I'll trust the trend will continue into a new decade!  Thanks again everyone, and have a good weekend.

-Coach Schwallier

Thursday @ 3:00 - Mandatory Concussion Test for (most) players

3/12/2013

0 Comments

 
Parents/Players,
You are probably aware that this year each athlete must take a concussion test.  Many of the the girls have not done this yet, so I set up a scheduled time for our team.  Here is our slot:

Thursday 14th, 3:00PM in the Computer lab next to the North Library.  

From what other kids have said, this test takes between 30 minutes and an hour.  It is mandatory for each child on the tennis team to go, with the following two exceptions:

1.  Don't go if you already took the test.  
2.  If you email me telling me that you have set up another time, I'm ok with that too...I just need to know you are getting it done.  

It must be done this week.  

If you are looking for another time, they have open testing times M-F this week at 3pm, 3:45pm, 4:30 & 5:15pm.  They sign up for a slot by going down to the trainers (there's a signup sheet).  Friday at 3pm is JV Baseball though, so don't sign up then.

Coach

(By the way, I checked the courts yesterday.  There is still a little ice on most courts, but it is turning to slush, so I believe it will clear by the weekend.  If we get dry weather and a bit of wind or sun, I believe that Monday will be a go outside.)
