Parent Information

February 8, 2018

 

 

Dear Parents,

 

You are receiving this letter due to the interest your son has expressed in playing tennis on the Greenfield team this spring.  I currently have 18 students who have signed up.  Due to the number interested and the varying ability within the group, I have enough to establish a JV team.  I am in the process of finding an assistant to help, as well as creating a JV schedule.  

 

While I am in the process of ironing out the details for this season, I want you to be informed of some requirements and upcoming events.

 

  • The season will begin February 19th .  Most practices will be held at Lake Wilson Tennis Club (4738 Lake Wilson Rd, Elm City, NC 27822).  This club has 6 clay courts.  The students should be dressed appropriately during practice (to Greenfield’s dress code standards) and clay court shoes are required. 
  • All home matches will be played at the Barton Tennis Complex (806 Corbett Ave NE, Wilson, NC) and a uniform will be required for play.  A team t-shirt will be provided for the season.
  • I have ordered the team t-shirts; the shirts are school property and will be collected at the end of the season.  They are black with a Knight and Greenfield Tennis displayed on the front.  The uniform also requires black athletic shorts to be worn during matches.
  • There has been a team store created, where you can order some Knight’s tennis gear if you choose.  There are no obligation to order.  See attached.
  • The 2018 Tennis Schedule is attached, as well as a calendar showing all events.

 

I use a Remind App to keep everyone informed of play, especially due to weather being a big factor.  I would like your permission to add you to this App, please contact me with your cell number(s) if you agree.  Please, send me a return email if your son is NOT interested in playing so that I can remove him from the roster. 

 

I am looking forward to a wonderful season!

 

Sincerely,

 

Robin Morrison
