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
