Happy hump day! I hope you guys have had a great break and are ready to get the semester rolling. Here I have a few announcements and reminders for y'all:
- We do have practice today for anyone who wants to freeze their buns off. The hours are still the same, Wednesdays and Thursdays, 7-9pm. We will also have shirts available, just come by and pick them up!
- At the beginning of today's practice, we will have a prayer circle at the courts in honor our fellow Aggie, Marc Elizondo. He was an exemplary Ag and his family is in our prayers. Our officer Bekah Storke will lead the circle and will also have a card for everyone to sign then send to his family. Everyone is welcome to be a part!
- This Saturday, January 20th, is our College Station TOC tournament. Teams have already been posted and your team captain will be getting in touch with their respective teams soon.
- Don't forget to sign up for Sectionals!! Deadline to sign up is
Saturday, February 3rd at midnight. It is a 3-day tournament starting Friday February 16th to the 18th.
Make sure you can attend all 3 days in their entirety. We will have notes for professors for those of you who have class on Friday and will need a note. Please be aware this is
NOT a University Excused Absence. HOWEVER, if we are all students and are aware not everyone will be able to play Friday. That is fine, we usually have groups of people who leave later Friday evening allowing everyone to be able to play Saturday and Sunday. To sign up, visit
TOC Texas Sectionals Info and follow the form.
- Saturday, February 10th-11th, is our TAMU Tennis Club Open. This tournament is open to everyone, members and nonmembers. You can sign up for doubles and singles, but no more than two events. Also, be aware this is not a TOC event but rather, a warm up tournament before sectionals. Deadline to sign up is February 4th. There is a $5 fee for members per event and for non-members, there is a $15 fee for singles and/or $10 for doubles and mixed. Both partners must register for the event and you can also edit the response after you submit if there are any changes.
Click here to sign up.
- Friday, February 16th-18th we have Sectionals. For those who are new to Sectionals, this the end of the TOC tournaments as well as the final- and qualifying tournament- before Nationals. Good luck to us all!
- With that being said, the day to initiate challenge matches is January 31st as we have to submit teams by February 3rd.
We have lots of events planned, including Australian Open finals, A&M Men's and Women's tennis teams, as well as Ice Skating Socials and Profit Shares. I hope everyone has a good year and a good spring semester! If you have any questions, let us know!
Thanks and Gig 'Em,
Sergio Ivan Ramirez
