PRACTICE:
YOU MUST BE ON THE COURT AND STRETCHED BY 2:15. YOU MUST REALIZE THAT THIS IS OUR PRACTICE TIME
AND ANY DISRUPTIONS WILL TAKE AWAY FROM YOU AND THE TEAM. AT NO TIME WILL YOU BE ALLOWED TO
LEAVE THE COURT UNLESS TOLD OTHERWISE. THIS INCLUDES GETTING A DRINK OF WATER OR GOING TO THE
RESTROOM.
CHECK IN WITH COACH AS SOON AS YOU GET TO PRACTICE. IF YOU ARE ALREADY THERE, THEN COME OFF THE
COURT TO CHECK IN. ATTENDANCE IS CHECKED AT THE COURTS, IN THE CLASSROOM, AND ON THE DAYS
COACHES ARE NOT PRESENT. FOUR UNEXCUSED ABSENCES YOU MAY BE DISMISSED FROM THE TEAM. TWO
TARDIES = AB. IF YOU ARE INJURED, YOU STILL ARE REQUIRED TO COME TO PRACTICE. ATTENDANCE AND
WHAT YOU DO ON THE COURT, AT PRACTICE, AND MATCHES WILL ALSO DETERMINE YOUR GRADE. THIS IS A
CLASS THIS YEAR, SO THERE WILL BE NO EXCUSES WHY YOU ARE NOT HERE. ANY PRACTICE MISSED WILL
RESULT IN NOT PLAYING IN THE NEXT DUAL OR TOURNAMENT. THE ONLY EXCUSED ABSENCE IS ONE THAT IS
ACCOMPANIED WITH A DOCTOR’S NOTE, FUNERAL, OR COURT NOTE. SINCE WE START PRACTICE EARLY,
SCHEDULE DOCTOR’S APPOINTMENTS AND DRILL GROUPS AFTER OUR TIME. DON’T ASK TO LEAVE EARLY TO
GO TO ANOTHER DRILL GROUP OR ANY OTHER ACTIVITY.

TOURNAMENTS- YOU ARE TO RIDE WITH THE TEAM. YOU CAN RIDE HOME WITH A PARENT AFTER ALL THE
MATCHES ARE DONE IF PARENTS COME UP TO ME AND I APPROVE IT.
***WHEN YOU ARE AT A MATCH WORK HARD. GO OUT THERE WITH PRIDE AND STRONG POSITIVE ATTITUDE.
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE, YOU ARE. IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO YOU ARE PLAYING AGAINST, LET
THEM KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOING TO FIGHT TO THE END. MY TEAM AND PLAYERS WILL NEVER GIVE UP NO
MATTER WHAT THE SCORE IS. NO TEAM OF MINE WILL BE TIRED OR OUT OF SHAPE. WE WILL BE THE ONES
STANDING AT THE END AND NOT THE ONES WHO ARE TIRED. WE CAN ALWAYS FIND SOMEONE THAT CAN
WORK AND PLAY HARD.
***DON’T ASSUME THAT BECAUSE YOU PLAYED TENNIS IN THE PAST THAT YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY GET
TO PLAY THIS YEAR. EVERYONE MUST EARN HIS/HER SPOT ON THE TEAM.
