The draws for this weekend's intraclub tourney are good to go and are attached to this email and on the Facebook page. Please check the time of your first match and remember to be at the intramural courts 15-20 min before your match. Make sure that you bring lots of water because it's going to be hot! Each match will be an 8-game pro set with NO-AD. If you do not find your name or there is a mistake please let me know ASAP. FYI, if you look at the file on your phone it looks weird. Non-members have to pay $10 bucks. Hope everyone is ready to Do It Big on Sunday!

Start of the Season Announcements

Howdy Tennis Club!

Thank you for showing interest in the greatest tennis club in the nation (YOU GOT THAT RIGHT)!  We have a very wide variety of players that come out for club, from ex-varsity college players to people who just played a little in high school.  We have a policy of not turning down anyone.  Club is for everyone and you can be as serious about your tennis as you want to be in our club.

Our informational will be held in MSC 2404 on Tuesday, September 8th, at 8:30pm. We'll have home-baked cookies!!!

The first official practice will be on September 9th, we have official practices twice a week (Wednesday and Thursday nights from 7-9:30 PM). You are more than welcome to just come whenever (in other words, coming for the whole 2 1/2 hours is not required and the practices themselves are not mandatory). During those practices, we feed our favorite game, 'clean winner,' but you are welcome to grab some balls and pick up a match or hit with some other members.

We also organize pool play, in and out of town tournaments, challenge matches, and dual matches versus other school's club teams.

Dues are $58/year before this Friday, September 11. After Friday, they will be $68. 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. You can pay dues at practice or through our marketplace website which will be sent in a follow-up email.

Just a reminder that we are having our intraclub tournament this Sunday, September 13th at the intramural courts. You can sign up here:
https://creator.zoho.com/tamu10s/tennis-club/…

If you would like to officially join the club team, simply show up at one of our practices, and we'll get you all set up.  Our main form of communication is through our listserv. If you would like to be added, let us know (getting this email means you're already on it! Whoop!!!). Check out our Facebook group and our website for more info. I'd strongly recommend Facebook, especially because that's where the sign-ups for our tournaments are and tons of other info/announcements. Check out our awesome Youtube video too!

Lastly, the schedule for the fall semester is:
September 19th - SMU
October 3rd - WACO
October 10th - AUSTIN (ACL weekend)
October 24th - SAN ANTONIO
November 7th - ARLINGTON
November 14th - HOUSTON

And for the spring:
Warm up tournament TBD (hopefully in College Station)
February 12-14 SECTIONALS in Newk's academy in New Braunfels.

I hope everyone is pumped for this new year and remember to ALWAYS Do It Big. Thanks and Gig'em!

Let us know if you have any more questions!

Here are the candidates for President:

Ryan Sebesta

Howdy Ags! My name is Ryan Sebesta, and I am a junior Agricultural Economics major from Angleton, Texas, but most importantly, I am the loudest and proudest member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2016! A-A-A-Whoop! I am running for President of Tennis Club. There are only a handful of things I can say I am passionate about, and on that short list are Texas A&M and tennis, which means Texas A&M Tennis Club is the perfect place for me! I love tennis and club with all my heart, and I want to see it go above and beyond to be even more successful than it is now, which is why I'm running for president. I want to make club the best experience for every member, whether it's a goofy mixer or themes for practice or adding more tennis events in the spring. I have different ideas to try and maximize club's potential, and I am ecstatic to see what we can do next year. I hope I have your vote. Thanks and gig'em!

Andres Tajonar

Howdy Tennis clubbers!! I have had the privilege to serve you as the Vice-President of the 2014-2015 year. I have been extremely involved with tennis club since I was a little baby fish years ago! I have met so many people of different levels & styles of play, and know how to make it fun for everyone. This past year has definitely been one of the most memorable ones with tennis club, from getting a free dinner date with Ben in the white elephant game to getting nosebleeds in the middle of matches during sectionals and also learning how to spread mulch properly from Preston during Big Event. My goal is to implement new ideas to make tennis club even more fun for previous and upcoming members as well as maintaining that friendly/family atmosphere. I look forward to making more incredible memories together and serving you as the 2015-2016 tennis club president!

Here are the candidates for Vice-President:

Hanna Grow-Morales

Joining tennis club this year made my freshmen transaction a lot easier. I've made a lot of new friends and have amazing tournament memories to look back on. As Vice President, I hope to provide this same amazing experience to incoming members and to add on to those of older members. I would like to help take responsibility in continuing the inspiration that tennis club provides for a majority of us. Tennis is a passion of mine, as I may not be the best player, I have a heart like no other. I want to help continue to make tennis club a fun/competitive environment for those joining and re-joining. If elected, I will gladly put in the time, effort, and dedication to making the club an even more successful program. I would love the opportunity to work alongside our president and other officers to better the club for all.

Josef Miller

I've been in tennis club ever since I've attended A&M and I've always appreciated the dedication of all the players and their willingness to include whoever wants to play tennis. I've been searching for avenues to serve A&M so being the vice-president of the club that has blessed me with many friends would be great. I promise to be the best vice-president I can be and continue to make all new coming tennis players feel welcome and find a place in our tennis club as I did. I think it be great to work with all the other officers and learn a bit more about being a leader. I think our club is awesome so there really isn't anything I can say about changes, i would just like to participate in keeping our tennis club great.

For the two other executive positions (Secretary and Treasurer) we only had one candidate for run each deeming voting unnecessary. 

Please send in your votes by next Thursday and we will get the results out as soon as possible! 

Thank you :)
