Pay to participate

FRIDAY 8/29- It is thunderstorming. I am going to cancel practice. No practice on Monday, either. Please play tennis over the weekend to keep from losing all your hard work. On Tuesday bring your money for your shirt and be all paid up to the athletic office. Check the blog for schedule updates on Monday. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

These players need to contact the althletic office before they will be allowed to play on Tuesday. These players will be able to do our run tomorrow morning from 9-10 ( we might be done a little earlier. ) Dont' forget your 5 dollars for your shirt tomorrow morning. Remember if I cancel practice I will do it at 8:30am. If you don't see a post here at 8:30 am, then assume we have practice.

GREAT JOB IN PRACTICE TODAY!! HOO-RAH !

Men's JV Tennis 2008

Parents,

EMAIL your email address to parent volunteer sandy fike at fike.sandy@comcast.net

Thank you for your support of the Saline Tennis Program. Your involvement is imperative to the success of your sons as well as of this program.

I will do the best I can to keep this blog updated with information you will need to know ( I realize teenage boys are not always the best at passing along information. )

1. Schedule.. I am still soldifying our schedule for this season.. for now that information is listed on SalineHornets.com-- but you must look at both varsity and JV schedules. The only tournament for JV is on September 20 ( and it is here at the Saline Courts. )

2. Practice..
This week 9-11am, except on Wednesday when I will need everyone here at 2:30pm to go to Chelsea. Once school starts it will be from 3-5 . I will let you know if that has to change due to my own work schedule.

3. Contact me.. I am giving everyone my business magnet ( not intended to be a shameless plug ) but all my pertient contact information is on that magnet including email and phone. My business phone is my only phone . I only answer it during business hours Tues-Fri - 9-5, otherwise I end up talking business all day long without a reprieve. But I do check it often and when I get a message I will call you back if you leave your number. I will not call back after 8:30pm. My email I check almost daily and usually at 6:30 am .


4. Parents--- I need your email addresses. We have a wonderful parent or several who have volunteered their time to organize snacks and rides, etc. I , however, forgot to get that email address yesterday , now I forgot which wonderful parent it was! ( I was trying to connect parents with sons yesterday . ) So , if it was you, please email me your information and I'll post your email here ( if that is ok) so parents can email you their address directly.

5. About me.. I have been teaching tennis since I was a freshman in high school in 1992. I played varsity tennis all four years of high school, and won regionals at 2nd singles. ( I am horrible now, but I still know what I am talking about . ) I didn't play in college , except intermural , because I had a major that didn't allow that kind of time and I went abroad.
I have been coaching Saline Women's JV tennis for five years, and this is my first year coaching the men's season. I grew up around the men's program, I have three older brothers, and I am very comfortable coaching these young men.

Thanks SO MUCH!
GO HORNETS!
Coach Kat
