Tennis - Boys

Friday,  4/25/2025       

The final daily schedule and match schedule has been posted.  You can access the calendar from our website or you will get a hard copy from your son.  The Blue Crew was given an old copy and please realize it needed to be updated after the Athletic Directors made changes to the match schedule Wednesday evening, so that copy can be discarded and the Blue Team will get them on Monday.  The Green Machine received their copy on Thursday and they have the current and final daily and match schedule.

Thanks, The Coaches

   
2025 Boy's Tennis

April 2025

Dear Tennis players and Parents:

We are excited and ready for the upcoming tennis season and want to inform you about the upcoming events, uniform/equipment requirements, and rules and expectations of the players. Our first practice is Thursday, April 17th. All players should be there on the 17th with their racquets and all of the appropriate tennis gear with them, as we will begin practice after a short meeting in H206. Please make sure the athlete’s have a current physical on file with nurse White and sign up for Boy's Tennis in EduTrak Payment Systems. 

The boys will be able to store their racquets, water bottles, and gear in Coach Dolney’s room.  I have cabinet space reserved for the players and they should bring their gear up and put it in the cabinet before school each day and they can pick it up after school before heading out to practice or matches.

Our practice times are Monday through Friday 3:25-4:45pm.  If it is raining and/or too wet to play, we will cancel practice or have a shortened indoor practice if the Big Gym is available for the day. An announcement will be made prior to the end of the school day. Dakota Hills Middle School activity buses will take the players home after practices at 5:00 or students can arrange rides or walk home after practice and matches.

A schedule of matches will be posted and is subject to change. When we have an away match scheduled, it is very important that the players and parents communicate to make arrangements for transportation home. If your child will take the bus back to DHMS, please be at the school by approximately 5:30 pm to pick them up as we will arrive too late to catch the activity buses. If you would like to take your child home directly from a match you may do that. In order to do this, you must sign a consent form. We will have these available for you online in the Release of Liability Form section.

 As in the past, we will be offering Wildcat Tennis T-Shirts for approximately $12.00 - $15.00, and the shirts are yours to keep at the end of the season.  However, the boys will be responsible for supplying their own Tennis Shorts with pockets Tennis Racquets, and Tennis Shoes.  We also will be having a pizza party at the end of the season and the cost for that is $5.00.  

We also are asking the players to donate a sleeve or two of new, unopened tennis balls.  Penn Championship Extra Duty Felt balls can be purchased at Target or Walmart for about $3.00 a can.  Due to budget cuts of a few years back, these are no longer provided to us for practice or matches.  Our thanks to you in advance!

If a player has an appointment or an illness, it would be greatly appreciated if the parents would email us letting us know of any conflicts. We are looking forward to a super season. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to email us at:

Coach Dolney at:  jon.dolney@district196.org

Coach Beyer at:  agassitennis1@yahoo.com

We look forward to seeing you at our matches!
