ADHS (Almonte District High School) Tennis Team News
Thank you ATC members for supporting and encouraging local high school students to get out on the courts to learn the game of tennis or improve their skills, in preparation for the Lanark County and EOSSA (Easter Ontario) school tournaments. These kids have been out at the club for the past few weeks during the after-school hours and it has been great to see the courts so full of energy. In total, 18 students showed up to try out for the team. Some had never played the game before or set foot on the courts right here in Almonte. Several have been members and have taken group or private lessons over the years. On May 9th, the Senior tournament in Perth saw 2 ADHS boys doubles teams, 1 mixed team and 2 boys singles players hit the courts. 3 players are moving on to EOSSA in Kingston on Tuesday 21 May! On May 14th, 10 ADHS Junior players competed in very cold temperatures, rain and wind with no whining to be heard. 6 Juniors qualified to go to EOSSA: 1 boys doubles team and 2 mixed doubles teams. ATC members have really stepped up to support this team, by lending or donating racquets, working their own court times around practices and being positive about youth tennis. Thank you! Tennis is not taught in schools until high school so if you are not connected to a tennis family or buddy as a kid, you likely won’t get the chance to try and enjoy this great sport, especially if there are no public courts nearby. For many, a school gym class or team may be an introduction to a fun physical activity which teaches them patience, resilience, self-control and perseverance, builds self-esteem and social connections. Don’t be surprised if you see some more young folks at the Open House or out on the courts this summer. Please don’t hesitate to give them that warm ATC welcome they deserve as current or future members and fellow tennis enthusiasts! |
