ISK GOLD VARSITY TENNIS TEAM: August 2012 - December 2012

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 30 players trying out, and then we were left at 20 people, which were divided into two teams of 10 players. I made the gold varsity tennis team! We have practice four times a week :

• Mondays: 6:50am - 7:50am
• tuesdays: 3:30pm - 4:30pm
• Thursdays: 6:50am - 7:50am
• Fridays:  3:30pm - 4:30pm 

Our coach is coach George, with whom we discussed our goals for the season. 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 with my sister. 

Adding to practice hours, I play tennis for one and a half hour every Saturday with my formal coach, coach Peter. It is a much more intense training as we don't have to share 3 courts between 10 players.
