  • Tryouts
    Tryouts begin on March 15, 2023 and players must have their completed gold card from the school nurse. Information on how to get a gold card can be found at
     
     
    Varsity A and Varsity B tryouts will take place at the High School (location may change).
     
    JV tryouts will take place at the Middle School (location may change). 
     
    Each player needs to have two tennis rackets, one can of tennis balls and plenty of water.   
     
    Players are expected to be present at all tryout sessions.  Missing sessions will be incorporated into the coach's evaluation of players for the Varsity team.
     
    Tryouts consist of assessments of individual tennis skills.  Varsity A & B players should be able to utilize dependable stokes with directional control using a variety of speeds and spins.  Players should have good shot anticipation, as well as, the ability to hit winners or force errors.  Can execute lobs, drop shots, overheads and has a well developed second serve.  JV level players should be developing their consistency and footwork.  Players should be able to maintain a backcourt rally as they further develop their strokes while also working on placement, direction and ball control.
     
    The coaching staff also tests the athletes for general athleticism.  
     
    Players are also evaluated on their cooperation with other players and their ability to take direction from the coaching staff.

  • Regular Season

    Boys' Tennis is a commitment of about 3-4 hours per day, 5 days a week and occasional Saturday games and competitions.  It is our expectation that athletes will be present for all team tryouts, scrimmages, practices, games and tournaments. 

    The regular season ends in late June for all teams. 

    Varsity is then eligible for post-season play.
