MVHS Tennis Expectations

1. Arrive On Time. Practice starts at 3:00 for Varsity & JV and 4:30pm for Eagle (C Team) unless otherwise discussed with me. Carpools leave for away matches at 2:00, home matches you are expected to be at your location between 3:00-3:15.

2. Make Tennis a Priority During the Season. Jobs and other activities must take a back seat to tennis during these 7 weeks. It is not allowed to miss practice for a job and expect to play on the team.

3. Keep Your Grades Up. If you are in danger of failing a class you will be removed from matches. You will also attend mandatory SOAR sessions.

4. Practice Days Before a Match. Every practice before a match must be attended otherwise you will not play in the next match.

5. Matches End When Every Match is Finished. Not just when your match is finished. Always support your teammates.

6. We will dress up for match days!! Whether we wear Vista Tennis Gear or we wear a dress we will dress up for match days.

7. We Represent MVHS Well on the Court. We do not throw racquets, hit balls outside of the court or into fences, or use fowl language on the court. This will be punished in practice with the team running and in matches with point penalties, game penalties, and match penalties.

8. Parents Cheer For Their Player. Parents will cheer great tennis and not cheer against opponents.

9. Coaches will Coach. Coaches are the only ones who coach and talk to players at the fence.

10. Players need to Communicate with Coaches. Players will communicate issues with coaches first then coaches will talk to parents if needed.

Practice Makes Permanent!!

Let’s Compete, Have Fun, and Get Better Every Day!!
