I have been a member of the Varsity Tennis
team for 2 years now and travelled twice with the team to Addis Ababa for the
IITT tournament which was so much fun both years.
At the beginning of my senior year i
signed up for the the tennis team tryouts. They lasted for about two weeks.
Everyone, including my coach, had realized the progress i had made over summer.
However, i was still surprised when i made the first cut.
In the beginning we were about 30 players
trying out, and then we were left at 22 people, which were divided into two
teams of 10 players; the varsity blue and varsity gold tennis teams. I made the
blue varsity tennis team just like last year and I was not only surprised but
very happy because so many new players were trying out and they are all so good,
plus 2 of my bestfriends are on the team: Cheryl and Imran. We have practice
four times a week :
•
Mondays: 3:30pm - 4:30pm
•
tuesdays: 6:50am - 7:50am
•
Thursdays: 3:30pm - 4:30pm
•
Fridays: 6:50am - 7:50am
Our coach is Mr. Amirouche, a biology teacher
at our high school which is great because some of us are familiar with him.
My main goal is to perfect my back hand and avoid double faults while
serving. I also wish to play more singles matches as i am used to playing
doubles.
So far this has been a really fun tennis
season, we are all improving our techniques and the spirit in the team is just
great! The two matches I played were double matches with Cheryl which was a lot
of fun, we communicated very well and won.
We are supposed to travel for ISSEA in
Mozambique in two weeks which is very exciting and well all can't wait!
