First Practice, TOURNAMENT, Uniforms, Headbands

Howdy Ags!

So first practice is this Wednesday, September 9th, from 8-11pm out at
the intramural tennis courts. I hope all of y'all are as excited
about club this year as I am. We're looking to build off of last year
and be better than ever. As always, we'll be expecting a big turnout
and we want to get as many people as possible out there playing tennis
(especially girls). For the first couple of practices will be just be
getting to know everybody and will be playing A LOT of the greatest
game in the world…clean winner. Also, don't be scared about coming
out to club no matter what your skill level. We have a very wide
variety of players that come out for club, from ex-varsity's to people
who just play a little in HS to people who have never picked up a
racquet before.

If you decide it's for you, and you want to be a part of the biggest
and best tennis club in the nation, you can pay your dues. And
remember, our tournaments are free…FREE…***FREE*** for our members.
Did I mention our members get into tourneys for free? FREE. There's
no such thing as a free lunch, but we got free tourneys. We'll be
collecting membership fees at practice, and we have a special early
sign up offer. If you can pay your membership dues before September
16th at 8pm, you'll only have to pay $40 for both semesters, which
really is a good deal (it covers balls, uniforms, social events, REC
court fees, entry fees, housing, and travel costs for intra- and
inter-club tournaments in and around the state, and to nationals, and
our freaking awesome new tennis club t-shirt...Tennis Club members
also get 15% off at Tennis Warehouse). Otherwise the dues will be $50
for both semesters or $30 for the fall semester only. Our club shirts
will be in by the first practice and you can pick yours up once you
pay your dues. Seriously guys, the shirts are flippin' awesome. If
ya'll really want to you can waive the membership dues and just pay
$40 for the shirts…seriously they're that awesome.

We will be participating in a number of out-of-town tournaments
throughout the semester and if you want to see our schedule laid out
just go to http://tennisclub.tamu.edu and click on our "Google
Calendar" link. We will also be having an intra-club singles and
doubles tournament this upcoming weekend on Sept. 12th and 13th. So
go sign up online at tennisclub.tamu.edu NOW and find a good doubles
partner. The tournament is $FREE.99 for members and $20 for
non-members, so pay your dues ASAP. We will be giving out a bunch of
prizes and give-a-ways from local businesses. The out of town club
tournaments are also a blast. We get to play teams from all over the
state, and most especially BEAT THE HELL OUTTA t.u.! In order to
determine our teams for the inter-club tournaments we will be using
pool play (beginning in mid-September) and intra-club tourney results
in the fall and a ladder system in the spring.

Also, we will have uniform order forms available on Wednesday with
samples of the uniforms on display. Remember if you have any more
questions visit our website at tennisclub.tamu.edu or email us. Also
remember to join the Tennis Club Facebook Group

Thanks and Gig 'em!
