Sectionals This Weekend!!

Howdy Ags!!

Sectionals is this weekend!!!!!  Practice is tomorrow from 8-11 at the intramural courts, so get your final tune up for sectionals with some clean winner.  The 2 for $5 dollar shirt deal is still going on, but the only sizes that we have left are extra large.  So you can use it for a blanket, a night gown.....perhaps a tall tee.

 

Your captains will be getting in contact with you soon as to start times on Friday and when/where/how you'll be carpooling there.  If there is any reason you are no longer able to attend sectionals, let your team captain know IMMEDIATELY so we can make changes accordingly.  We will be staying in the Hyatt Summerfield Suites Austin/Arboretum and playing at the University of Texas Intramural Courts.  This link is a map from the intramural courts to the hotel we are staying at:  http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=4612+Avenue+D%2C+Austin%2C+Texas+78751+%28UT+Intramural+Fields%29&daddr=Hyatt+Summerfield+Suites%2C+Austin%2C+TX&hl=en&geocode=FYaUzgEducYs-iEeUBv-iKRFcw%3BFd62zwEd3qYs-iHmmX0B5skmWw&mra=pd&sll=30.314098%2C-97.729869&sspn=0.020598%2C0.038581&ie=UTF8&z=13.  In case you want the straight up addresses, it's:

 

UT Intramural Fields

4612 Avenue D

Austin, Texas 78751

 

Hyatt Summerfield Suites Austin/Arboretum

10001 N. Capital of Texas Highway

Austin, TX 78759

Here's the ladder for the Sectionals tournament:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0ArZL6Vg02spgdDhyT0RNVWI5ZVhmT1ZBQkZFcTBKUHc&hl=en&output=html
There are still ALOT of people who have not turned in money for Sectionals, so if your name is NOT highlighted in green, you owe $20 to attend sectionals.  You can either give your money to your team captain any time or an officer at practice, and the money will be due before sectionals.  If you haven't already talked to your professors, now would also be the time to let your professors know that you will be missing class on that Friday the 25th.  If needed, we can get the faculty adviser to write a letter to the professor (not a university excused absence) in order to let them know whats going on.

 
The last date to sign up for Big Event is THIS FRIDAY!!!  There are already over 25 people signed up, so join everyone else and Do It Big in the community.  Follow this link to go directly to the Texas A&M Tennis Club sign up page: http://bigeventonline.tamu.edu/signup/index/joingroup/code/878C7-00093.  From here, log in and input your information into the prompt boxes.  You can also join the Tennis Club big event group by going to http://bigeventonline.tamu.edu/ and logging in under student participant.  Then type in this access code into the "Join a Group" box: 878C7-00093.  The group "Texas A&M Tennis Club" should appear, and then join the group.

No Practice Sunday

Howdy Ags!!

Just a reminder that there is no practice tomorrow due to that one football game that everyone's making a big fuss about, and hopefully everyone had a great snowday!

Practice Cancelled

Howdy Ags!

 

Practice is cancelled for tonight, due to the sub-freezing temperatures we will be expecting at 8pm.  If you are disappointed, don't be.  Your hands will thank you!  So cozy up with some hot chocolate and get some studying done tonight!

 

Also, no official practice on Sunday.  It's the Super Bowl, so exercise your rights under American (and Texan) citizenship and watch the Green Bay Packers BTHO the Steelers!
