Greetings Caimans;
A good full week of practice. We are getting into a good & efficient routine. Coach C and I are seeing improvements with each one of you, mentally, physically & emotionally. As long as we commit ourselves to learning with patiences, respectful honesty & accountability, our season will be successful win or lose:) Let’s keep the Caiman mission & camaraderie going!
Thank you players and parents for attending the Parent Meeting & reviewing and signing the “COMMITMENT POLICY” contract. It’s nice getting to know you all better at each gathering.
We have a designated player “Photographer” (Thank you Al Voges). We also have our Snack (Joanne Zerull) and Carpool Mom (Jung Buerger) who will coordinate these tasks. Look for their emails in the coming days. Also, Julie Witsken & family has graciously offered to host this year’s end of the season banquet at their home. (Banquet Date Proposal 6:00 - 7:30pm: Monday May 18th, or Tuesday May 19th, or Wednesday May 20th or Thursday May 21. ) Thank you parents for stepping up and making our preseason prep easy peasey.
A question was raised: Are “Players” able to play in USTA Tournaments during our season. The answer is “YES”. You may compete in USTA Tournaments as long as it doesn’t conflict with your practice days and/or Match days.
Practice Player of the Week goes to: JOEY RELOVSKY
Joey is a newbie on the team. Although born in SD, he is a true Pennsylvania Boy. He has picked up tennis so quickly and has a fierced Forehand. Joey’s attitude and willingness to listen and learn is a breath of fresh air. We hear him encourage his partner and has the positive mental attitude we as coaches love to see. Congratulations Joey…keep up the great work!
