VARSITY AND JUNIOR VARSITY SPRING TENNIS INFORMATION

​We've been working hard all off-season, and it's time to get IN season:)  Thank you for the enormous amount of work you've put in this off-season, particularly in the WEIGHT ROOM!!!  It'd be hard for me to ask for any more dedication than what you are already giving.  Ok, let's get to the details, read the info below and then click here to check out our calendar/schedule.  

Information that applies to all players:
  • FINAL FORMS is now how you sign up for a sport, there's a link on our home page.  
  • You must have a physical on file before you may step out on court, and your insurance should be paid (both are done via final forms)
  • Season begins Monday, March 13

Information for girls who prefer to play Junior Varsity:
  • Tennis is a no-cut sport...everyone will get to participate, and all players will play in several matches. 
  • ​Your position on the team is based on ability, and not what grade you are in.   
  • You will be able to give input about who your doubles partner is, but the final decision on doubles partners will be made by Coach Gaul.​
  • Seniors and Juniors are allowed to play on Junior Varsity


Information for girls who want to try out for VARSITY:  
  • If you want to tryout for varsity, you need to CLICK HERE so I can include you in the challenge schedule.  
  • Tryouts will be held indoors the first week from 5:00-7:00am at MVP Athletic Club in Holland, or from 3-6pm after school at the High School Courts, depending on the weather.  This is the only time all season that we will practice before school:)  
  • The purpose of Week 1 is to determine which 14 girls will play on the varsity team.  Most girls will know what team they are on after day 2 or 3.  All players should know by Friday.  
  • Challenge match results are the main factor used to determine who makes the varsity team, but ultimately the coach decides which players give us the greatest chance to win a Conference and Regional title, and compete at the State Finals.  Almost all players will tryout as doubles players.
