Hello Rockford Tennis Parents, Players and Fans:
First. I'd like to thank everyone for all the support during the start of this tennis season. I truly believe that this is going to be a fun and competitive season. We've been working extremley hard during practices, focusing on fundamentals and strategies that we hopefully transcend into wins during the season.
One thing I'd like to push for is off season training once the season ends. There has been numerous girls' working incredibly hard in the off season and I'd like to see that continue. We have some amazing seniors on our team this year that have been with the program for 4 yrs. and truly helped bring this program to a new level. It will be hard to replace these young ladies, but I know the potential is out there. Coach Wallace, Coach Unsworth and myself are currently looking into hold a 1 or 2 week camp at the end of July for grades 5-12 at RHS. We will let you know more about this towards the end of the season. One other thing I'd like to throw out there is the 100 set club or 200 set club. By the start of the 2013 season I'd like to see the girls be part of one of these clubs. Simply document your scores, turn them into a coach and play as many sets as you can. Competitive match play is the #1 thing a young player needs to get to that next level. Nothing can replace match play.
Any thoughts.......? Let me know, please comment.
