Fall Team
Drills:
Regular team drills will be Thur at 9:30-11 at Richland. Make sure and RSVP each week so we know how many are coming.
Uniforms:
We are going to get new uniforms and wear them for combo state, fall and spring. They are cute but we need to order by Tue. 7 to make sure we can get sizes and get them here. There are two skirts (one with yellow shorties and one without shorties) that are cherry and the cherry top. There is also a white skirt and top that has a little of the cherry and yellow on the side. I think most girls today ordered the cherry top and skirt with shorties. Our yellow tops also go with the cherry skirt. Call Charlotte to order and give size and which pieces. Here are pics of some of the items.
cherry top
girls who tried this on say it runs small so you might want size bigger. check with other girls about sizes if you have question. they have several at the tennis center if you want to stop by this weekend and try them on.
cherry skirt with built in yellow shorties w/ball pocket. skirts ran true to size. they have some to try on at richland.
white skirt with cherry on side.
white top with cherry on side to go with white skirt.
Most of the girls have the yellow top we monogrammed with MatchMakers in the summer. We decided to go ahead and have everyone get one so that we can use as extra uniform and for combo tourmanet. If you don't have one let me know. I am going to WalMart and can get you one. They are $4 plus tax and then monogram is $10. So for $14 we have a shirt that we can wear as uniform or wear with jeans or something at tourament or state.
Availability:
If you logon and go to the calendar you can see who is needing off certain days and see our schedule for the fall. We are short some Fridays. If you know of any 3.0 looking for a team let me know. We don't want to forfeit a line because we are short.
First Match:
This coming Fri the 10th is the first match. I'll get who is playing out by the first of the week. We play at Walnut Creek at 9:30 with warmup at 9. The first two matches (10th and 17th) are pre season and extra ones.
Ball and Court Fees and Drinks:
We have 4 home matches. That means we pay court fees, balls and provide drinks after the match for the visitors. We divide the cost by the number of girls and we have to pay by next Friday. I can't figure the cost until we know if anyone else is joining. In the case of someone being more like a sub (only playing if we are short) they don't pay the fees. If we get one more girl then it will be $25 each person.
When you play a home match, after the match ask your oppenents if they would like a softdrink and then get it for them at the pro shop. Since we collect the money upfront you then charge the visitors drink to our team account.
Combo:
Drill:
We need to have special practice for just the combo team going to state. This is so we can get ready and work on partnerships. Need to find a time where we can get most of the girls together. Cindie and Michelle work and i think can only do Fri or afternoons. We need to start combo practice now as we only have about 6 weeks till state. Email me when you have available and i'll see what we can put together and with Charlotte's schedule.
Uniform:
For state we will need at least 3 uniforms. We will use our pink and white spring uniform, black skirt with the yellow matchmakers top and the new uniform. Some of the girls suggested if we need another uniform get another one of the tops from WalMart in another color like the blue. Wear with black skirt. We don't have to monogram them or we can monogram them. Let me know your thoughts.
Lessons/Special drill
For state this summer we all waited till the end and then started saying we needed lessons and extra drills. We don't want to wait till the week of to do this. We all learned from that and now know we need to start earlier. A few of us talked about doing a lesson together to work on different things, i.e. approach, put away, etc. We need to do this in groups of 4-6. Tammy, Jill and I are looking at Tue. afternoons. Does anyone else want to join us? We would start this week. If other groups want to get together and do the same that is good.
