MUS Tennis

April 15 Lower School Match cancelled

I have just been informed by Coach Chamberlain that the LS boys tennis match that was scheduled for Windyke CC today has been cancelled due to the weather. Our next match will be the rescheduled St. George match next Tuesday here at MUS.

2011 LS Tennis Team Announced

Coach Chamberlain has decided to keep everyone who tried out on three teams (A,B,C). Remember that only the top 8 players will play in the tournament at the end of the season. The boys received a practice and match schedule today at Assembly. They will be told which matches they play in advance by Coach Chamberlain. Phil says he does not need any more tryout information so the next practice is MON MARCH 21 after spring break. See you then. If you missed yesterday, see Coach Chamberlain at the Dunavant Wellford Tennis Center. I will post the schedule for the season here soon.

When the boys are dismissed today for lunch at 11:40, we need some parents if available to help us shuttle the boys to Wellworx as we are moving the MBA match indoors. You can pick them up right in front of the Lower School. They will eat lunch over there with the MBA boys.
