Great Job!

We had a great match with St. Mary's on Thursday! Both teams were respectful, courteous, and helpful towards each other. We will have final numbers on scores soon, however the real victory speaks to all the players' wonderful attitudes on the court. Be sure to check the "Photos" section for pictures from Thursday's dual. See you all Tuesday!

MHS Sports Banquet

I had to pleasure of attending the Midland High School Tennis Banquet on Thursday night. I was able to see many of our former St. Ann's Alumni honored at the banquet both on achievement and effort. Mr. Travis Andrews and Ms. Sofia Salcedo were a part of Midland High's District 6-A Varsity Team this season and Sophia was awarded many district honors in both fall team tennis and individual spring tennis. Ms. Katherine Klaussen was named Most Outstanding Junior Varsity Player and Ms. Shannon Hickey was named Most Outstanding Freshman. I couldn't be more proud of these players and am so excited to continue seeing St. Ann's Alumni doing great things at their high schools.

Match Thursday

The crazy weather sadly had to cut our match short yesterday. We were able to try and get on our first round, but the wind proved to be much too difficult to play in. Thanks for all who came out to watch! Hopefully our match against St. Mary's tomorrow will provide much better weather. Our 6th graders are off having a blast at Prude Ranch, so tomorrow our 7th and 8th graders will take on the St. Mary's Knights from 4:00 - 5:30. Please meet at the Bush Tennis Center immediately after school so that we may begin promptly at 4:00. Please wear your white team shirt and come prepared with your racquets. Students may also wear their team shirt to school tomorrow!

Bush Tennis Center Summer Camps

Hey families!
Here's some information on some summer tennis camps hosted by the Bush Tennis Center if you are interested in continuing working on your skills over the break.

Tournament Opportunity

Hello families!
I just wanted to let you know of a tournament opportunity for your children if they would be interested in playing. It is being hosted by the Bush Tennis Center and is for any players in the area that are of junior high age. Students would not be participating in this tournament on behalf of St. Ann's School, rather just as an individual player. It is simply a good event to get your child some tournament experience if they'd like. I am attaching a copy of the entry form. If you are interested in playing, please be sure to take this form with your entry fee to the Bush Tennis Center. See you all on Tuesday!

Change in Dual Match. Practice Thursday!

Hey Families and Players!
Due to a few players unable to attend the Dual Match this Thursday, we will have a regular practice that day and have our Team Dual on Tuesday, April 19th. This will also allow us one extra practice day to practice and review scoring procedures. See you all on Thursday!

Team Dual Rescheduled

Hello Parents!
Due to the weather, our Team Dual will be postponed until Thursday, April 14th from 4:00 - 5:30 pm. Look forward to seeing you all there!

Possible Inclement Weather

Hello Parents!
Tomorrow's weather is predicting a nice, cool day, with a very slight chance of rain. If in the event it rains before our dual and the courts are not dry enough to play our matches, I will send out a text and email informing of any cancellation. If this occurs, we will have our Team Dual on Thursday (the 14th). As of now, the weather is not predicting a heavy chance so I am optimistic that we will enjoy a pleasant, cool afternoon of tennis. Look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! Parents, you are more than welcome to come watch your child play between 4:00 - 5:30. Thanks again!
