Dear Sidwell Friends Tennis Players:

My name is Logan West, and I am the new Head Varsity Tennis
Coach at Sidwell.  Those of you who are
returning players from last season already know me from my previous work assisting
with the Sidwell Varsity Tennis Teams.  I
would like to welcome all rising 9th graders to Sidwell Friends high
school tennis.  I am very excited to lead
the Sidwell Tennis program into the upcoming season and look forward to a great
year.  We will have a Girls Varsity and a
Girls JV tennis team this fall.

Pre-season practice will begin on Monday, August 22 at 3pm sharp. We will meet at the Wisconsin
Avenue Tennis Courts.  Don’t be
late.  During the first week all
practices will be from 3-5pm.  All students must submit their health
information forms before they are allowed to participate.  For pre-season, you should bring your tennis
racquet(s) and some form of hydration (water or sports drink).  You should wear appropriate athletic attire
and tennis shoes.

My expectation is
that you arrive on the first day of pre-season ready to compete. We will
start with conditioning and point play on the first day of pre-season.  On day 2, we will begin match play, which
will impact the ladder as well as which players make Varsity and JV.  We currently have a great level of interest
in tennis at Sidwell with over 30 students registered for Girls Tennis this
fall.  Unfortunately, that means that
some players will be cut.  Be prepared
for this.

I strongly encourage you to be active over the summer by
playing tennis consistently.  I recommend
that you participate in a summer tennis camp as well as play in at least one
tennis tournament.  There is no substitute for competition.

I will be running a summer tennis program at Sleepy Hollow
Bath & Racquet Club at 3516 Sleepy Hollow Rd, Falls Church, VA 22044.  You may find more information about our
summer programs at https://gowesttennis.com

If Virginia is too far of a drive this summer, I have listed
links to other recommended summer tennis programs in the area below:

If you have any questions regarding Sidwell tennis or
developing a plan for summer tennis training and tournament play, you are
welcome to email me at [email-masked]

The match schedules for both the Varsity and JV teams are
posted on the Sidwell website.  Please
check the posted schedules regularly for updates at http://www.sidwell.edu/athletics/teamschedule.aspx?TeamID=2437

I expect every serious tennis player to attend all
pre-season tennis practices.  If for some
reason, you are unable to attend a pre-season practice, I expect to hear from
you prior to the beginning of
pre-season.

Go Quakers!

Logan West
