Tournament Information

Hello families! This information is for the players involved in tomorrow's Midland ISD Junior High Tournament. We are currently still awaiting the draws to be formed, however do have a good idea on the specifics of the site and time to report. Below you will find the tournament information as well as the event your child will play in. 

  1.   Our team uniform is the grey, dry-fit St. Ann’s Athletics Shirt purchased through the tennis fee. Please wear your uniform with any suitable practice bottoms. Tomorrow's weather will be slightly chilly in the morning, but expected to warm up nicely. Nylon or sweat pants over tennis shorts would be a great idea for the day. 

2.   Come Prepared – Bring your tennis racquets and can of fresh tennis balls. Have your own water jug filled with ice and water. There are no water jugs on the courts at Midland College so you must bring your water. Take snacks and meals with you as appropriate. There may be a small lunch break where parents are able to bring their child lunch, however it is the player's responsibility to be aware of their next match time given by the tournament desk.

 3.   Please arrive NO LATER than 8:30 a.m. and meet the coaches and the rest of the team at the front of the facility. We will begin warm-ups and review tournament draws and procedures. The duration of the match will depend on your progress through the draw in your event. All players are expected to be guaranteed two matches. When you have finished your draw or been eliminated, you MUST tell a Coach (Coach Fournier or Coach Owen) before you leave the facility. A parent must check in with a Coach before they take you home.

4.   Respect your teammates and opponents. Belittling a teammate has no place on the court. Be supportive and united at all times. Always act with utmost professionalism on the court, even if it’s not reciprocated. Always offer to shake hands after a match. Remember: ALL the players out there are playing to experience the game of tennis. Be sure to contribute to that positively. Feel free to encourage your teammates! Simply remember rules of court etiquette.  

5.   No one leaves the courts until all the scorekeepers and trash has been picked up. Leave the courts, stands, and grounds in better condition than you found them. Use recycling bins appropriately. 

6.   Communicate- Email or call coach if there are ANY concerns or questions.  

7.   Parents:  Your support is greatly appreciated and we are so happy that you have chosen to allow your child to play in the program. UIL ruling states that no coaching is allowed by parents at tournaments DURING match play. Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions or concerns about during match play about anything, please feel free to ask ANY coach or official at the facility. 

8.   Remember, you represent St. Ann’s Catholic School. You are a considered a Christian Athlete and your behavior should exemplify the title. Be a good sport. This means no tantrums on the court, no bad language, no racquet abuse. Bad sportsmanship and/or racquet abuse can ultimately get you taken out of a match. 

9. The ProShop at Midland College is utilized as a place of business for tennis players in our community. Players should only go in the ProShop if the tournament desk is set up there and they are reporting for a match of submitting scores, or buying equipment from the shop. When not participating in these activities, players are expected to be quietly supporting their teammates and staying close the the tournament desk to listen for their next match.  Players are expected to:  Follow the instructions of the coaching staff.  Treat coaches, fellow classmates, opponents, spectators, and staff with respect. Refrain from using inappropriate language Maintain a positive attitude Stay safe while on the tennis court Represent our school in a positive manner. Have fun!
