To keep your place in the ladder you must play once every 10 days.

You may only challenge one spot above you.

Fitness Center Summer Hours

The Fitness Center will be available for use this summer for all incoming, certified 9th through 12th grade students and athletic teams.

Complete information about that course can be found here: Certification Course

All student participants are required to have a signed permission form handed in before they can participate. Permission forms can be found here: Permission Form

Any coaches who would like to schedule team training should contact me ASAP to discuss the details. Student-athletes on a team which does not have regularly scheduled team training sessions are welcome to join the Fitness Club.

I encourage all coaches who would like their athletes to participate at the fitness center this summer to get the word out to their prospects so that they have an opportunity to register for this certification course. Thanks for your time. Thanks, Patrick

SC Tennis Camps

Hello Ladies,
Camp registration has started and all camps are filling quickly. If you would like your pick of camp dates, please send in your registration form soon. Camp sizes will be limited.
Also, many of you have expressed an interest in Camp 4 in August. That camp will be limited to 12 players(some spots are already filled), so in order to reserve your spot, send in a $50 deposit asap. The remaining $200 can be paid by July 25th. As you all know, participation in camp does not guarantee a spot on the team or increase your chance for varsity playing time. What it does do, is help to prepare you for the high school season. It has been great to see so many team players at the SHS courts after school!
Go State!

BOXTOPS For Education

Please remember to save your BOXTOPS for Education. The team continues to collect them and currently we have about $60-$70 dollars worth! Hopefully by August we will be close to $200!! Remember, every little bit helps!
BOXTOPS can be found on numerous items that include:cereal, kleenex, toilet tissue, baking supplies, Juicy Juice, etc. Keep your eyes open! Each BOXTOP is worth 10 cents! I find it very easy to save them by having an envelope in the back of a kitchen cupboard. Then I just clip and save! This might be the EASIEST fundraiser a STATE HIGH team has ever done.
Saturday tennis is now over and Kelly DiMuccio gets the award for perfect attendance! Kelly will be awarded her NIKE tennis t-shirt in the Fall! Great leadership Kelly!
I hope all of you have enjoyed the snow! Let's hope spring is around the corner. Saturday morning doubles clinics(11AM-12) will start in the end of April! Watch for details in your e-mail and on the web site!
I hope you all are well.

The SC Girls Tennis Booster Club will be sponsoring indoor court time at PSU this winter starting 11-23-09. The following rules will apply:

1. The Booster club will pay $15 towards your hour of court time. There will be a pay sheet at the cash register that you must sign/initial every time you play. Players will pay the remaining balance immediately.
2. You must hit with another SC team member or a member of the boys' SC team to get this deal.
3. You CANNOT use the money towards an hour lesson or for ball machine use. Our team ball machine is available to use whenever you want it.
4. You can only play once a week with Booster Club money.
5. Any misuse by a player will result in that player being removed from this program.
6. Players are only eligible for this program if they were members of the team at the END of the 2009 season!


Helpful hints and other information:
