Important Dates & Information

Howdy!


Thank you to everyone that came out to the informational! We had a great turn out, and hopefully you were able to meet some of the officers and have your questions answered. The presentation was a lot of fun, and we were thrilled to be able to show you our oscar-worthy promo video. 

If you were not able to come to the informational, DO NOT WORRY! The next time we meet will be tomorrow, Wednesday September 7 at 8:00pm at the intramural courts. The courts are located west of Reed Arena, next to Mt. Aggie. This will be our FIRST PRACTICE of the year! At this practice you will have the opportunity to ask any officers any questions you may have. 

Here is some important information and dates to keep in mind in the coming weeks:

FIRST PRACTICE - Wednesday September 7 - Intramural Courts - 8:00pm

Come join us for our FIRST PRACTICE! During practice you will be able to join our teaching courts, play "clean winner" and other games, meet a lot of people, or just come out and hit on our open courts.  

**IMPORTANT**
During our first practice you will also be able to pay dues. Dues are $50 if you pay before the following Wednesday, September 14 and $60 after that. 
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. This truly is a bargain compared to other schools' tennis clubs. 

Tennis Club Tailgate/ Ticket Pull - September 17

Tennis Club will be pulling tickets and tailgating for the Idaho game on September 17. This is a wonderful chance to meet other members and officers, play tailgating games, eat, and watch Texas A&M BTHO Idaho.  If you would like to join us, please give your sports pass to one of the officers by September 11. 

Intra-Club Tennis Tournament - Sunday September 18

Clear your schedules for September 18 because the Texas A&M Tennis Club is having its Intra-Club tournament! This tournament is exclusively for tennis club members. For those that would like a better chance at being placed on a higher team on our ladder, this tournament is an excellent way to allow the officers to evaluate your skill level. In a few days, we will set it up to allow you to sign up for the tournament online, but for now just keep the date in mind. 

**If you do not pay dues, you will have to pay a fee to play in the intra-club tournament**

Facebook Group

Please join our Facebook group! If you plan on participating in upcoming tournaments, we stress that you join our Facebook group because it will be our main way of finding out who is planning on attending each tournament. The page can be found here http://www.facebook.com/groups/178798642183028/ .  Our first tournament will be the Austin Regional September 24th. Sign-ups for this tournament will occur at a later date, but just keep this date in mind. 

Please make sure to check out our Tennis Club webpage at http://tennisclub.tamu.edu . Here you will be able to find a list of all the officers, the challenge ladder rules, the calendar, our stunning videos, and much more!

That is all the news I have right now. Make sure to come out to practice tomorrow! 

And remember.... always hit the tweener.
