Student Activity Night at Reed Arena Volleyball Game

Tonight at 6PM our Aggie Volleyball Team plays LSU in Reed Arena! 

The six organizations with the highest attendance will select a representative from their organization to compete in a game of Musical Chairs during intermission to battle for a $200 Visa gift card for their organization. The second place winner will receive a $100 Visa gift card, and the third place will receive a $50 gift card to Rudy's BBQ. 

So please come hang out with us as we support our Aggies! Also wear your maroon Do It Big Club Tshirt for this year so we can all match. 

We will meet at Reed Arena around 5:30-5:45PM  instead of our regular practice tonight at the intramural courts. 

It should be a good match, and how can you not have tons of fun hanging out with us?? 

See you there!

Andres Tajonar

Tennis has been a really important part of my life since I started playing about 10 years ago.  I love the game and have a strong passion for everything involved with it, which is the main reason why I would like to serve as Tennis Club Vice-president. I will be fully devoted and committed to tennis club and to the needs of every member. As vice-president, I would promote a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere within club so everyone feels welcome and comfortable. If given the opportunity, I would work diligently with the president to innovate and improve practices, challenge system, tournaments, and other activities involved with club.

Joey Tames

HOWDY!!! 

Okay so my name is Joey Tames and I'm a sophomore A-A-A-A-AAAAA!!!! I'm in the Corps and Aggie Band and this is my second year in the Tennis Club and I want to run for VP because I want to be more than just a member of the club. I want to help make it better and more fun, like with music! (I'm the guy who brings the speakers to practice yuhh :D ) I go to all the tournaments and socials so I already know a lot of the members new and old but I really look forward to meeting everyone else I haven't yet! I'm also really interested in what y'all as members want Club to be like and I'll be there to listen and hopefully be able to make those changes possible! 

Oh and just for reading this y'all are already even better tennis players and that much more awesome and probably got smarter too! Lol! Hope y'all vote for me!

 Thanks and Gig Em!!! #Tames4VP

Tournament Commitment

Howdy Everyone!

I want to wish everyone good luck who is competing in this weekend's Georgetown Tournament good luck. We also have a Waco Tournament coming up on October 18th, so look out to sign up for that event soon.
In addition please remember that when you sign up for the tournament, you must plan on going! We pay for each team submitted, and if a team we have submitted does not have the number of people necessary to compete our entire club is penalized and not allowed to sign up for Tennis On Campus events. Please be respectful of your teammates who also plan on you being there. Remember, tournaments are not required, but we love for as many people possible to attend! Just make sure that you have your schedule planned so it does not affect other club members.
We also have a warning system in place: if you miss one tournament that you committed to- you receive one warning; if you miss a second (unless an urgent excuse if provided) -you will not be allowed to play in any of our tournaments for the rest of the year.

As long as you let us know before the deadline to sign up for the tournament that you cannot attend, we should not have any problems.

Thanks you for reading this pretty long email if you made it through :)

Update for Week of April 1st

We regret to inform you that TAMU Tennis Club, as of today, has been disbanded. Due to allegations made against Tennis Club claiming that "Clean Winner" is a hazing game in which "members deliberately aim to harm other members during the course of a point", official university recognition has been revoked and the club has been ordered to cease all meetings until an official investigation into the hazing allegations can be made. 

April Fools and Happy April 1st everybody!

On to real news:

Don't forget about our profit share at Yogurtland at 4pm on Firday this week. It's gonna be bumpin! 

Second: Take a look at the attached flyer for the College Station Rotary Club tournament coming up. If your looking for some fun competition and want to test your skills in a real tournament, this is your gig.

Lastly, make sure to tell members of team 1 good luck in nationals if you see them around this week.

NO PRACTICE TONIGHT! (2/6/14)

Howdy Ags!

Just wanted to let everyone know that there is no practice tonight. It has been cancelled due to cold weather and abominable snowmen inhabiting the playing surfaces. They are dangerous and  not to be trifled with!

Thanks and Gig'em and also stay warm!
