Tennis Tryouts Kick off the New Season

By Elizabeth Moore
Monday, March 18, 2013 the Girls Varsity tennis tryouts started at the DHS tennis courts and will continue on throughout the week until the coach can make a decision about who will make the team based off of their skill, effort, and attitude.
Each day the girls will play a match to 7 while being evaluated from the side. If the coach likes what he sees, and thinks that she is a good addition to the team, he will ask her to come back the following day to reevaluate and see how she does the following day against a new opponent. There is a lot of pressure on the girls, since there are limited spots due to the desire to be on the team, but each girl will try her best and hopefully have a good time while playing tennis.
Although this is a stressful time for the girls trying out, it is a great experience to meet new people that could potentially make up the future Varsity Tennis Team. Moreover, the girls who don’t wish to try out for Varsity will be trying out for Junior Varsity next Monday. Both teams will be very excited to start the season off, and if you are trying out for the team-good luck!
