Chick-Fil-A Fundraiser, Waco Teams, and Job Offers

Hello again fellow tennis enthusiasts (wow it's almost like we should have a club)!!  Just a few things to update y'all on!

First off, just a reminder that Tuesday evening (9/29) is our first profit share at the Chick-Fil-A off of Texas Ave from 5-8:00 PM. Here's a note from our fundraiser extraordinaire, Hanna (call her Banana) Grow-Morales:

"Remember the more money we raise for club the more socials, prizes, balls, and other things you guys can think of we can have! Profit shares are directly based on all those who we bring in, so please come and eat and get to know some really cool people! Don't forget to mention to the cashier that YOU'RE WITH TEXAS A&M TENNIS CLUB!! :)"

Second piece of news, the teams for the upcoming tournament in Waco have been made and I've attached the list to this email. However, there is a bit of a lack of girls. So ladies, if you would like to join last minute for the tournament please let me or Jacob Sestak, our competition officer, know that you want to join!

Finally, I was told to spread the offer of being paid to play/teach tennis. Brandon Carlson is a Community Director at Hullabaloo and is in charge of tennis for the city of College Station, email Aakash Pai for more details.

Let us know if you have any more questions! The tournament in Austin is the weekend after the Waco tournament so as usual, look out for a chance to sign up this weekend! Have a great week guys!

Waco Regional Tournament

Howdy A&M Tennis Club!

Sign-ups are now open to join the roster going to the Waco tournament on Saturday, October 3rd! If you're in the mood that Saturday to, I don't know... 'DO IT BIG!!!' then you should sign up and represent our club! Play some matches! Get tomatoes thrown at your team (older members may or may not remember this)! Wonder in amazement at how someone would go to Baylor over A&M!!! Whoop!

Deadline to sign up will be this Sunday, September 27th at 6:00 PM. If you have a Facebook, please sign up here. Only if you do not have a Facebook, please either let me, Jacob Sestak, or Andres Tajonar know that you want to go so we can put you on the tournament roster. Once you sign up, teams will be made later in the week and your captain will contact you will all the information you'll need for that weekend.

On a more serious note, the officers want to make it clear that if you are signed up to go to a tournament and choose to skip, then this counts as an infraction against you. After two infractions, you will not be allowed to go to anymore tournaments for the current year. For those thinking about going to the Waco tournament, it is also the same weekend as our first SEC home game against Ole Miss so be aware of that.

Just a reminder, here's the remaining schedule for the fall:
October 3rd - WACO
October 10th - AUSTIN (ACL weekend)
October 24th - SAN ANTONIO
November 7th - ARLINGTON
November 14th - HOUSTON

And for the spring:
Warm up tournament TBD (hopefully in College Station)
February 12-14 SECTIONALS in Newk's academy in New Braunfels.

Thanks and Gig'em!

Let us know if you have any more questions!

Practice Theme Nights

Hello and Howdy Tennis Clubbers!!!

Every two weeks, our practices will have theme nights (both Wednesday and Thursday). This week's theme is America, or 'merica!, for our patriotic brethren! The best dressed (no not that tuxedo t-shirt we all have in our closets, I'm talking theme-related here) guy and girl from each practice night will both receive prizes at the end of practice and have their picture taken for our club page! Prizes will change from theme to theme, this week will be free candy (I promise to only make you share with me a little)!

On a side note, good luck to all our teams going to SMU this weekend! DO IT BIG!!!

The draws for this weekend's intraclub tourney are good to go and are attached to this email and on the Facebook page. Please check the time of your first match and remember to be at the intramural courts 15-20 min before your match. Make sure that you bring lots of water because it's going to be hot! Each match will be an 8-game pro set with NO-AD. If you do not find your name or there is a mistake please let me know ASAP. FYI, if you look at the file on your phone it looks weird. Non-members have to pay $10 bucks. Hope everyone is ready to Do It Big on Sunday!

Start of the Season Announcements

Howdy Tennis Club!

Thank you for showing interest in the greatest tennis club in the nation (YOU GOT THAT RIGHT)!  We have a very wide variety of players that come out for club, from ex-varsity college players to people who just played a little in high school.  We have a policy of not turning down anyone.  Club is for everyone and you can be as serious about your tennis as you want to be in our club.

Our informational will be held in MSC 2404 on Tuesday, September 8th, at 8:30pm. We'll have home-baked cookies!!!

The first official practice will be on September 9th, we have official practices twice a week (Wednesday and Thursday nights from 7-9:30 PM). You are more than welcome to just come whenever (in other words, coming for the whole 2 1/2 hours is not required and the practices themselves are not mandatory). During those practices, we feed our favorite game, 'clean winner,' but you are welcome to grab some balls and pick up a match or hit with some other members.

We also organize pool play, in and out of town tournaments, challenge matches, and dual matches versus other school's club teams.

Dues are $58/year before this Friday, September 11. After Friday, they will be $68. This money helps the club pay for balls, shirts, social events, REC court fees, tournament entry fees, housing, and travel costs for inter-club tournaments around the state and nationals. Club members also receive up to 10% off Tennis Warehouse purchases. You can pay dues at practice or through our marketplace website which will be sent in a follow-up email.

Just a reminder that we are having our intraclub tournament this Sunday, September 13th at the intramural courts. You can sign up here:
https://creator.zoho.com/tamu10s/tennis-club/…

If you would like to officially join the club team, simply show up at one of our practices, and we'll get you all set up.  Our main form of communication is through our listserv. If you would like to be added, let us know (getting this email means you're already on it! Whoop!!!). Check out our Facebook group and our website for more info. I'd strongly recommend Facebook, especially because that's where the sign-ups for our tournaments are and tons of other info/announcements. Check out our awesome Youtube video too!

Lastly, the schedule for the fall semester is:
September 19th - SMU
October 3rd - WACO
October 10th - AUSTIN (ACL weekend)
October 24th - SAN ANTONIO
November 7th - ARLINGTON
November 14th - HOUSTON

And for the spring:
Warm up tournament TBD (hopefully in College Station)
February 12-14 SECTIONALS in Newk's academy in New Braunfels.

I hope everyone is pumped for this new year and remember to ALWAYS Do It Big. Thanks and Gig'em!

Let us know if you have any more questions!
