Fall Competitive Play, Practice Tomorrow

Howdy-

Practice tomorrow, 4-7.

If you haven't yet joined the best tennis club in the nation, we will be around tomorrow if you have any questions, collect some dues, or get you signed up to play competitively with us.

We need your USTA numbers, if you are a USTA member. Its real easy to retrieve your number by calling them up if you don't have it memorized or tattooed somewhere. Link to the entry form is on the right side of the website.

Competitive Stuff:

So its looking like we will be traveling to 3 away team tournaments this semester (Houston, Austin, and Dallas), the first of which on Oct 13. We also have scheduled a dual match vs tu (to be played at home) and we will be hosting a singles tournament of our own. The team tournaments are played with 6-10 people per team, in a WTT format. Initial placement on our teams are primarily based our Intra-club competitive matches in the fall, and challenge matches in the spring. Last year we were able to take 5 teams to some of the tournaments.

This fall we will be playing a win-lose type setup, similar to Vicki's tennis class, where you will play people with similar won/lost ratios. For example, on the third week, if you have won 2 and lost 1 match, you will be playing against someone else who has also won 2 and lost 1. We will post the entire setup online soon, but for now, the first round matches are attached.

From here on out, these matches are your responsibility to get in touch with your opponent and get your match played, either during our Sunday practices or in your own time. We are allowing 1 week per match, starting tonight and ending a week from now ( 2 out of 3 sets, regular scoring ). Please let us know if there are any problems getting in touch or finding a suitable playing time.

Score Reporting: check out the "Report a score" button on the right side of our website, where you will enter winner's and loser's name, match number, and your score.



Thats all for now,

David

Upcoming Tennis

First and foremost I want to welcome all the new tennis club members and say thanks to those who have been faithful members over the years.  Our Competitive Play will begin within the week so for all you that signed up for competitive play be prepared to play one to two matches a week.  Next, I'm sorry for the ceaseless annoyance of dues but for all of those wanting to play competitively dues are due.  For those that are not playing competitively dues are also due.  There will be no more "free" practices.  The reason being that this is a club and it is for members only.  If you have not joined and want to play competitively please reply to this email with your phone number and we will contact you.  As always first timers are not required to pay dues but, as i said it is a club so please do not take advantage of that.

Next order of business.  Our first "Team Tournament" is on October 13, also our calendar is on our website for those that want to plan ahead (tennisclub.tamu.edu).  Be thinking as to whether or not you can go to this.

Also for everyone, if you are a USTA member we need your number.  David has created a cool program that makes this easy for everyone.  Go to

http://creator.zoho.com/dvdtho/form/8/

All you do is pick your name and type the number.

Now why are we doing this?  Well USTA wants to know which college has the highest percentage of USTA members.  Therefore once y'all enter in the numbers we will report to them.  This also in a way depicts how much money they give in grants which help us pay for travel expenses, tournaments, etc.  If you are not a member you do not have to do this, so do not worry about it if you are not.  If you do not remember your number contact membership services of the USTA.


Soda paid his dues!!!!

Pete Sampras vs Robby Ginepri

Howdy Fellow Tennis Ags

As I mentioned in practice we have a lot of cool events planned this year.  The first thing that we are going to do as a club is go and watch Pete Sampras play Robby Ginepri.  As all of you know These are two great tennis players.  At 7:00 p.m. on Saturday September 22 these two are going to play at the Dr Pepper Star Center in Frisco Texas which is north Dallas.  These tickets will cost $30 each and is only open to club members.  We are planning on driving down saturday afternoon and leaving Sunday around noon.  As of right now we have three houses for people to stay in so space is limited and will be based on a first come first serve.  If however some of you live in that area and would be willing to offer your house for us that would be greatly appreciated and would allow more people to go.  So check your schedule, see if you can go then reply to this email.

Thanks everyone,

Jonathan

Inter-club Tournaments this Fall

We will be traveling to several inter-club tournaments this fall. These are lots of fun, great times to make friends and play a little tennis. They are all Saturday only events, so for the Houston and Austin ones, we will leave early and come back late. Check out our calendar for dates.

We will be taking as many teams, of 8-10 people per team, as we can make, hopefully. If you are not familiar with how we play the WTT format, check it out. We will have some, to be determined, type of competition to help us initially place you on teams before the first tournament.

Tennis Club vs Intramurals

So we were thinking what is the difference between intramural and tennis club, are they the same?

Well the truth is they are not. Intramural is an ongoing tournament throughout the semester. Although it is fun it only involves those who sign up and you will just play one another. Club Tennis will not only have a similar tournament to that of intramural but if gives the opportunity to play in WTT tournaments against other schools, play other colleges in dual matches and I'm not just talking about club teams. Last year we played an actual varsity team and had a convincing victory. We also do social things so that we can get to know another... and we get cool shirts.

Hope to see ya'll on Wednesday,

Jonathan

Howdy AaaaGggggggSsss!!!!!!

Hey Ags!!!!

All right guys and girls, I know yall cant sleep tonight because of tennis club... cuz its so freaking sweet! Yes Its coming soon. Ok so its at 4-7 P.M. at the courts. I hope to see you guys there!!! Ok now things to recap: Our secondary on our football team sucks. But hey we won and its all good. Next those officials were shady... yep shady. "it was a fumble" cough!!! Next I guess holding in Fresno State is legal. Ok now that I have that off my back lets talk tennis. So we have a special guest coming tomorrow...hmm maybe Roddick. Or our sponsor. So ya don't want to miss it. We will also introduce the officers and yall can find out some cool stuff about us. Im pretty amazing, I dont know how to put this, but... people know me. Yep. Ok so pay dues once again. Its free but ya have to pay for a $40 dollar T Shirt. And get ready for some amazing times. Yall give me a call if ya need anything.

Recap

club 4-7P.M

P.S

Cool quotes i heard

"As soon as your born you start dying, so ya might as well have a good time!"

" happiness is like peeing your pants only you can feel its warmth"

Awsome first day!!!

Howdy Ags!!,

OK Guys so the first day of club is over.... God it was freakin saweeet!! I hope all of yall had an amazing time!!!! I know I did...best ball feeder ever!!! I know clean winner can get a lil repetitive, but with the numbers we had its hard to get a lot of things going at a constant pace... Clean winner is a good way to meet the tennis chicks and dudes. So guys, play it smooth!!! Don't hit at the girls at 100 MPH not too cool......hmmm Robert. Yes Robert has been crowned last year's woman slayer, so who's up for the task this year. Kelly once again being the creepy old person has once again shown off her matching styles. Pretty lame if you ask me, but if some one can out do her please do so. But back on track. Remember guys dues!!!!!!!!!!!! Please as soon as you can pay your dues. The sooner (<--lame!!) ha-ha get It., you pay your dues the sooner we can get you in our pool play and you can start competing. YAY for competing. And plus that nifty sweet tennis shirt!!! For free or for $40. Depends on how ya look at it. Another thing, last year's club was amazing! our club members were really close and have become great friends. We hang out together every day. Let's shoot for the same goals this year. Our next club practice is Sunday at 4-7 P.M. at the tennis courts. Now if you can only hit for a lil bit no worries. There is no time line of when you have to get there or leave. Preferably at the start but when ever is cool. OK guys I hope yall have an amazing rest of the week, and if ya need anything or want to hit give me or some of your fellow club members a call.

Deuce it!
