JM Boys Tennis 2020

Hello all and welcome to the 2020 JM boys tennis season.  John and I are looking forward to beginning the season and starting practice on Monday March 23!  

Prior to the beginning of our season is our school's PAC meeting (Parent/Athlete/Coach) for spring sports on Tuesday March 17.  At 6pm in the JM auditorium, our school's Athletic Director, Brian Ihrke, will provide information, rules, and regulations for all school sponsored sports.  Then at 630pm all the sports teams will split up to their assigned rooms at JM (ours is 3-115) and we will have our own team meeting.  We will discuss team rules, our schedule, uniforms, etc.  Attendance is mandatory for the student athlete and at least 1 parent so please plan accordingly!  

Our season begins on the JM tennis courts on Monday March 23 and practices will typically run from 330pm-530pm.  You are making a commitment by being apart of our team so please be at practice every day!  Anything other than sickness/excused absences will not be tolerated.  In order to be the best team we can, we need everyone present at practices and matches!  Also check out our schedule of meets/matches/scrimmages posted on the big9conference.org website.  Search under the "activities schedules" for John Marshall and then "view schedules" for boys tennis.  Please take care of any conflicts (such as work) as early as possible.  

Parents, thank you for allowing your boys to participant on our team.  Hopefully you will find your son taken care of it an environment that promotes sportsmanship, hard work, learning, respecting each other, and fun while helping our team succeed.    

We look forward to seeing/meeting you all on March 17.  

Thanks,

Josh Heiden

Lakeville Invite

I have just been informed our invite in Lakeville scheduled for Saturday has been cancelled.  

Schedule this week and weather

Hello all,

Just letting you know that our match Thursday against Mankato East has been cancelled and will be made up later in the season.  I am trying to get practice courts for Thursday and/or Friday but I will let you know if that happens.  When we go indoor we ask that each player brings $5 to help cover court costs.  Also, I have not heard about being decided with the varsity invite in Lakeville on saturday.  When I hear I will let you know.  Thanks and drive safely!

Tuesday vs Mayo time change

Hello,

We are going to start our match against Mayo tomorrow at 330pm instead of 430pm.  The varsity will play at JM and JV will play at Mayo HS.  Please be at your appropriate site by 330pm so we can get started on time.  The reason for this change is that Mayo is going to play another match after us tomorrow and would like to get both matches in before dark.  Thanks and I apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause.

Thursday April 4 Match vs Stewartville CANCELLED

Reminder....

Hello all,

Thanks again for being at the PAC Meeting last evening.  I was reminded of another thing pertaining to our middle school students.  When we go to other towns for away matches, the bus will pick up the middle schoolers prior to coming to JM to get the high school guys.  When we have matches in town middle schoolers need to find their own way to and from their playing site.  Hope that makes sense.

Doubles Scrimmage

Just wanted to give everyone an update on our season.  After a great week of practice, our top 11 players traveled to Owatonna to play an indoor doubles scrimmage against Faribault and Waseca.  The Rockets, comprised of seniors all the way down to a 7th grader, represented JM well with competitive play and great behavior.  At the end of the day they walked away with a combined record of 10-0 in matches - a great start to the season!

Welcome to the 2019 Boys Tennis season!

Hello all,

John and I wanted to welcome you all to the JM Boys tennis team and this activities page.  We also have some information that we want to share with you so everyone can make plans.  First of all, our team begins practice next Monday, March 25th at 330-5pm at the JM tennis courts.  Please pray for warm weather so that the snow on the courts melts!  If weather is looking bad/rainy for Monday please check this page for any updates to practice time and location.  Boys, on Monday dress appropriately for the weather and be prepared to do some tennis court maintenance including putting up windscreens, taking care of leaves and snow, and general cleanup.  We realize some of you may be gone for part or all of spring break so if that's the case, please email me at joheiden@rochester.k12.mn.us or joshbheiden@hotmail.com to let me know if and when you're gone.  Hopefully we'll have most everyone at practice during spring break since we have a doubles invite indoors in Owatonna Saturday, March 30!!  

The second important announce is that the PAC Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 2 at 630pm in the JM Auditorium.  Attendance at this meeting is mandatory for all the tennis boys and at least one of their parents.  Our Athletic Director will give a short presentation to all spring sport athletes and then the boys tennis team will meet in one of the JM classrooms (when I know which classroom I'll let you know) for a short meeting.  

Please let me know if you have any questions about practice, the PAC meeting, or any other details.  We're looking forward to a great season!

Your coaches,

Josh Heiden and John Scheuermann
