High School Tennis

The S & S tennis team is designed to teach students basic tennis skills so that they may enjoy this sport for the rest of their lives. Most students enter the team with a minimum of tennis skills. Thus, the atmosphere is one of fun and interest when learning about the game. The few players who do have acquired skills can be ready to learn advanced techniques and strategies and then make their preparation for the district competition in April.

Historically, the team has attended no matches during the season. The only meet is the district tournament in April. The new coach, Lonnie Burnam, is hoping to change that. He has secured 4 practice courts in Sherman's Fairview Park for two days a week practices. He is optimistic about the chances of playing 3 or 4 matches before the district date.

The team is small and young. Thus, it is a perfect opportunity to participate in a sport that will give the student a lot of personal attention along with great excercise.
