Waco warm up tournament is on January 28th. Sign up for Waco warm up tournament is on the facebook page. Remember, if you have yet to play a TOC tournament and want to play at sectionals, you must play at Waco in order to be eligible to play at sectionals.

Sectionals is a three day tournament in Austin on February 17-19. Sign up is also on the facebook page and deadline to sign up is January 28 at 6pm. Please realize that if you sign up you are committing yourself for three days and are prepared to miss class on Friday, February 19.

Spring Semester Tournaments

Howdy!

Much like the fall, tennis club will hit the ground running. Practices will start the first week of classes on Wednesday and Thursday (Jan 18th an 19th). For the paid members who didn't get their shirt in the fall, we have shirts for y'all to pick up at the first week of practice. Also remember classes start on Tuesday January 17 rather than Monday because the university will be closed to observe MLK day.

There are three tournaments coming up:

January 28 Waco warm up (TOC tournament)
February 4 Club tournament
February 17-19 Sectionals (Austin)

Sectionals is our big tournament of the year, 3 days and two nights in Austin, and lots of tennis. February 4 will be our own tournament which will be a very similar set up to the intraclub tournament in the fall.

Waco warm-up is the last TOC tournament before sectionals. This is important because you must play in one TOC tournament to be eligible to play at sectionals. So if you didn't play in a TOC tournament in the fall but you would like to play at sectionals, you must play at the Waco warm up tournament. Our club tournament on February 4 and the intraclub tournament in September are not TOC tournaments and do not count towards your eligibility for sectionals.

There will be additional details provided for each event as we approach them.

I hope everyone is enjoying their break! Happy New Year!
