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:

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!

"Mr." Executive Secretary
