the votes are in....
CONGRATULATIONS!
we have one captain .... Sarah Fosdick.
We have a tie for the second captain position....
Robyn Chaffee and Lauren Eisenmann. ( I apologize if I am still spelling Lauren's last name wrong.)
I swore I'd only have two captains this year so I am really struggling with this. However,being as though we have such a large team, and I truly believe these three ladies can work cohesively ,
We will have three captains this year. I am confident in my decision to have all three ladies lead this team .
I want to assure you that I do feel any of the girls who tried to become a captain would have been excellent, and we have many leaders on this team and for that, I am truly grateful.
Congrats Sarah, Robyn, and Lauren, you will be great captains.
I am proud of all of you!

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY
today is the 18th and we will not have practice today due to the rain. :(
varsity is practicing at liberty school , but we are not.
tomorrow i will let you know if we are having practice , but if it is raining , i am guessing we won't.
i H I G H LY recommend you work out on days that we don't have practice. go to the rec center, do a video something. we do our best to make sure we have alternate places so that we don't have to cancel, but if we have to cancel, take it upon yourselves to keep in shape.
put these in your calendar...
fundraising-- noodles and company ( on washtenaw ) on wednesday , the 26th. i will have an informational sheet for you explaining how it will work .
uniforms- we are using the same uniforms as last year. if you already have one, you are set! if you are new to tennis , i will be asking for a shirt and skirt size and will have prices for you .
as for optional sweats and sweatshirts ( and any tee shirts ) we will be figuring that out within the week and I will keep you posted.
RAIN PLACES next week
if it rains next week,
Monday and Tuesday
we will be at Liberty school at 7:30. If not we will have the same schedule as we did this week, which is posted on this blog. since i have not had ample chance to see you play I can 't make my decision to break you into separate groups just yet.
THANK YOU!
thanks to all of you for working so hard in the freezing cold! i am proud of you!
See you tomorrow!

two jv teams
W E L C O M E!!
Those of you joining the JV team, we begin our tryouts next week. I will take into consideration those who are still at varsity level and will be joining us after the final cut.
The JV team consists of two teams... one is the competitive team, that will be playing in most of the matches , just like varsity with a strict line up 1-4 singles , 1-4 doubles. Then there will be a practicing team, one that will work on strokes and playing matches against each other and the competitive team to gain valuable experience. Try not to get upset if you are not selected for the competitive team... because as many of the girls will tell you, we have fun no matter what!
I will begin to have separate practices , but will also have combined practices ,too. I am only one person... and there are a lot of you so I have to make two teams so that I can be a better coach to all of you.
Now, this is the tough part.... I have to tell you that just because you played on the competitive team last year will not save your spot this year. There is a lot of talent that is new to the team and I will choose who I believe will perform well in the allocated spots on the competitive team.
I will be looking closely at your strokes , attitude, and your work ethic to see where you will best be suited for yourself and the team.
A WORD ABOUT ATTENDANCE....
1. You chose to be a part of a T E A M. that means attendance is mandatory. ( the exception to this is this first week march 10-14, when we've had to change plans last minute. ) If you have a school sponsored event ( DECA , etc ) then you need to let me know in advance when you will not be here .
2. For every practice missed, you miss one competition. This should have started this week, but I am starting it next week because of the irregularity in the schedule this past week. If you are in a club sport, school sports come first. If you are not on the competitive team, then clearly I can't make you sit out of a competition but I will occasionally need to bring people up from the practice team, and your attendance will play a large role in that decision.
3. If you are sick, of course I understand, but the rules are the same.
THE LINE UP for the competitive team...
I will make my decisions hopefully by next Friday, but may need a few more days. I will have a sheet on Monday that tells me your singles/doubles preference and your doubles partner preference, but this is not a guarantee that you will get your preferences. Please know that I have been doing this a long time and I know what I am doing and I will do what is best for the team and for you, in that order.
PARTY ON!
We will have a team ( VARSITY AND JV) party soon , and we will elect captains on Friday, March 21. You must be a junior or senior to be a captain. You will give speeches (2min approx) on Friday. There will be two captains. If there is a tie, we will re-vote to break the tie on Monday. I think three captains is too much.
I NEED YOUR HELP, PLEASE! APRIL 12, 2008.
As many of you know , I am a photographer and I have a wedding to shoot April 12. ( I booked it way before I knew we'd be playing in the Spring. ) The competitive team has a invitational in Troy. I need a parent or two who knows tennis to "play coach" on that date , so we don't have to back out of the invitational. Please let me know as soon as possible.
T H A N K Y O U !!
I have admired your commitment thus far and I am looking forward to a great year.
My email is katfoleyphoto@yahoo.com, you may reach me there, and only there ( don't contact me through myspace or facebook. Thank you . ) I try to check it daily because it is my work email, but I don't always get the chance.. so if there is something urgent, 734.904.0070.

HERE WE GO! Spring 2008
Hi Ladies ( and fans! )
This is where I will update you on past, present and upcoming events. This first week there is still snow on the ground and you have all been troupers ( all 50 of you ). I didn't bring a camera to the first practice , but that will change.
This first week is tryouts, specifically varsity tryouts. Next week, I will begin sifting through the 36 remaining girls.
Here is the way our practice schedule goes..
Next week..March 17-21
Monday 4:30-6:30
Tuesday 4:30-6:30
Wednesday 5-7
Thursday 4:30-6:30
Friday 5-6:30
I needed the later times so that I can have enough carts of tennis balls and court space to fit everyone! Thank you ladies for your commitment to the team. I am looking forward to meeting all of you and helping you to learn to love this sport as much as I do!
