Here are the details for our Tennis Parent/Player Meetings this Fall (This is the main tennis meeting):
When: Monday August 17 from 6:00-7:00 pm
Where: LGI Room in the High School North Building
Who is expected to be there: All players (Varsity and JV) and at least one parent.
What to bring: Insurance Fee of $40
What happens at this meeting: I welcome everyone for another awesome year to come, we go over game-plan for what the Fall will look like, the Varsity / JV teams are introduced, the teams briefly break up to talk about team specific things, and we go home. It'll be pretty brief, but it'll be important for everyone to be there.
Meet the Panthers night:
When: Tuesday, August 18 after tennis practice. It will finish by 7pm
Where: North HS gym
Who is expected to be there: All Junior Varsity players (parents don't have to go, but are welcome if they want to hear Rob Renes Speak)
Why are there two meetings? Each year the Meet the Panthers night conflicts with the Varsity team's first event, which is in Traverse City. So, this is the only way we can meet in person as a program before the season begins and get everyone on the same page.
Tryout update: The players are working very hard. After 3 days of tryouts, we have selected 14 players for varsity. Coach Metz is close to determining an initial lineup for the Junior Varsity. The next step for the Varsity will be to finalize a lineup and head to Traverse City. The next step for Junior Varsity is to set a lineup and prepare for a tournament at Mona Shores next Saturday.
Traverse City Varsity Overnight Update: I've changed our hotel to Boarders Inn and Suites 1870 US 31 North Traverse City, MI 49686 | (P) 231-938-1887 | [email protected]. It's just as good of a location and seems to be comparable quality from pictures and reviews, but is far less expensive. Our itinerary for Ann Arbor is unchanged.
Thanks for reading along, I'll see you all soon,
Coach Schwallier
