Dear Prospective AHS Tennis Players and Parents,
Welcome to the Arrowhead Girls Tennis Team.
Our team is made up of 5 teams- Varsity, Junior Varsity, Junior Varsity Red, Junior Varsity Blue, and the Club team.
The Varsity is composed of the 12 best players that will fill the 1-4 Singles positions, and 1-3 Doubles Team positions with an alternate doubles team. The Junior Varsity is made up of the next top 18 players filling 1-4 Singles and 7 Doubles teams.
The JV Red and Blue teams are made up of the next best remaining players, while the Club team is reserved for beginners, usually made up of Freshmen.
We have 2 days of tryouts, which are very important to attend in order for the coaches to evaluate your tennis ability and assign you a team.
We are a non-cut sport, however, attendance is very important for each practice and match and we have our own set of standards that must be met to remain on a team.
Tryouts begin August 9th 2011.
You Must Have a Physical Card on File In Order To Participate- No Exceptions.
Equipment needed:
Tennis racket/s
Tennis Shoes- white soled only, and non-marking
Water jug or multiple water bottles.
Proper practice attire and uniform information:
Appropriate attire for practice would be tennis dresses, skirts, athletic shorts with pockets, athletic tops that cover the mid-drift, and t-shirts. Sports bras alone are not acceptable.
The wearing of hairspray, perfume or scented lotions is not recommended as bees are very prevalent this time of year. Soda is not allowed on the court for the same reason.
Uniforms are on a 4 year rotation. The Varsity and Junior Varsity will receive new uniforms purchased through the school this 2011 season.
Everyone else may purchase their own uniform from tennis warehouse. The link is below. This is the same uniform that we have used for the lower level teams that past 3 years. If you have one already there is no need to purchase a new one however if you are new to tennis you will want to purchase one.
