Practice, Uniforms, Aggieland Invitational, Dates, Varsity, Genetics

Howdy Ags!

Hope everyone had a great break.  I spent my break cleaning golf carts and clubs for cash money, teaching myself to play "When the Saints Go Marching In" on the piano, watching a college football game that was actually more boring than an A&M game, getting my hair did, playing for a semi-professional Mexican field hockey team, and jump starting my car at 4am on New Year's Day.  Only one of those is a lie.  

We start up practice again tomorrow from 8-11pm out at the intramural courts.  We have all the uniform orders ready and available for pickup at the courts tomorrow.  So if you ordered something from us last semester, stop by and check with Andy for your order.  The uniforms look awesome, especially the super sweet and trendy hoodies.  Also, in case anyone hasn't checked the TC calendar, we will be hosting a tournament next weekend on January 31st.  It will be a club tourney, but it will not follow a WTT format.  We will have more information on this later, but for know just keep this in mind so you can join us for another fun club tournament.  Also, for anyone out there who still isn't sure about Tennis Club is and what we do, we will be at MSC Open House on Sunday from 2-5pm.

We have a lot planned this semester including socials, sectionals, Big Event, and a couple Intra-Club Tourneys.  Just some dates to keep in mind:

January 31st, 2009:
Aggieland Invitational @ A&M

Feb. 14th, 2009:
Waco Regional Tourney

Feb. 27th-March 1st, 2009:
SECTIONALS @ San Antonio

March 28th, 2009:
The BIG EVENT

April 11th, 2009:
Intra-Club Singles Tourney

April 18th, 2009:

NATIONALS @ Surprise, AZ

April 25th, 2009:
Intra-Club Dubs Tourney

For sectionals and nationals we will be creating a ladder system based on last semester's results and participation to decide the teams.  We will send out the ladder and the challenge rules in a little bit.  Also, the varsity season is starting up and Tennis Club is the biggest fan of our varsity teams.  We will always have a group getting together for the varsity matches to support them and watch some really amazing tennis.  The women's team will play Denver on Saturday at 1pm and the men's team will play Radford on Sunday at 1pm.  We hope to see some of ya'll out there.

I hope to see a lot of ya'll out there tomorrow to get back into the swing of things.  We got a lot of tennis planned and and a National Championship to win.  So I want everyone to go out and JUST DO IT BIG.

Thanks and Gig 'Em!
