Week of April 15-19

Let's build on the great week of practice and matches!  Here is what's in store this coming week.

Monday April 15 - Practice 

Tuesday April 16 - Match AWAY vs Faribault.  (Same dismissal schedule as the Northfield match.)  Dakota kids need to be dismissed at 145pm and bus leaves Dakota at 155pm.  JA kids need to be dismissed at 205pm and bus leaves JA at 215pm.  JM students are dismissed at 222pm and bus leaves at 240pm.  Middle school students need to have a parent call in the excuse them.  

Wednesday April 17- Practice

Thursday April 18 - Practice

Friday April 19 - Practice

Saturday - off

Week of April 8-13

Monday April 8 - Practice 330-530pm

Tuesday April 9 - Practice 330-530pm

Wednesday April 10 - Practice 330-530pm

Thursday April 11 - Match AWAY vs Northfield.  Bus at Dakota 155pm, bus at JA at 215pm (middle schoolers need to have parents call to excuse them 10 minutes before bus times).  JM kids get out at 222pm; bus leaves JM at 245pm.  I believe varsity will play at Northfield HS and JV will be at the middle school just down the road.  When we are on the way home kids can call parents with our arrival times so everyone is picked up when we return to JM.  We will not stop for food on the way home so kids need to bring their own food.

Friday April 12 - Practice 330-530pm

Saturday April 13 - Match vs Mayo and Austin.  Varsity (and maybe a couple extra players) will be at the Mayo Courts.  JV will be at JM.  The schedule is:

9am - JM vs Mayo

11am - JM vs Austin

Varsity need to be at the Mayo Courts at 815am to warm up.  JV needs to be at the JM courts by 830am to warm up.  Mayo has a large team so our JV will play until all of their players have gotten matches.  FYI, Austin has a small team so they may not have any JV players.  Our JV players will be encouraged to get as many matches with the Mayo kids as possible.  

Week of April 1-5

Wednesday practice update***- we will have optional practice indoors at the Rochester tennis connection from 3-4:30 PM. Please work together to organize rides if necessary.

Tuesday update ****- there will be no practice Tues due to weather 
Monday update**** - there will be no practice Monday due to the weather.

Tues-Friday - practice from 3-5pm all those in town

Please check the group chat before leaving for practice in case we need to cancel due to weather.  Temps should be on the rise as the week goes on but dress appropriately!  

 

Plan for week of March 25-29 **UPDATE**

Thursday March 28 - We will plan to practice outdoors on the JM courts today from 330-5pm.  The weather will be chilly but sunny so dress appropriately.  

Friday March 29 - Practice outdoors on JM courts from 330-530pm for those who will be in town.

As we get closer to the start of our season on Monday the weather forecast doesn’t look good.  Therefore we will plan to meet after school at 330pm outside the JM Athletic office on Monday and probably Tuesday.  We will then head to a classroom where we can discuss expectations and goals for the season, as well as what to expect the first couple of weeks of practice.  We will also hopefully get a space in the school to do some speed and agility work so make sure you bring/wear appropriate shoes and clothes.  It’s a good idea to start getting into the habit of bringing your tennis stuff to school every day.  We will probably be done around 5pm these days we “practice” inside so please plan for pickup accordingly.  If parents cant make it to the school by 5pm the students can always wait inside.  

As always we expect the boys to communicate to the parents.  I hope the weather starts to cooperate soon and if there is any possible way of getting out on the courts we will.  Please let me know if there are any questions as we go!  And I haven’t heard from anyone yet about if/when people will be gone over spring break.  Thanks for your patience and commitment to JM Tennis!

JM BOYS TENNIS 2024

Dear Parent and Student/Athletes,

Hello all and welcome to the 2023 JM boys tennis season.  John and I are looking forward to beginning the season and starting practice on Monday March 25!  

Practices will typically run from 330pm-530pm.  You are making a commitment by being a part 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!  

Our team's PAC meeting (Parent/Athlete/Coach) for spring sports is going to be scheduled for Wednesday March 27 at 6pm in the JM Rocket Center (located inside the main doors of JM).  During the PAC meeting, we will provide information, rules, and regulations for the upcoming season as well as discussing team rules, our tennis schedule, uniforms, etc.  Attendance is mandatory for the student athlete and at least 1 parent so please plan accordingly!  

If practices or matches need to be changed or canceled because of the weather we will communicate through this webpage as well as the GroupMe group chat.  If you have questions please let us know.  That being said, the weather during our first week of practice looks like it might be less than ideal!  If practicing outdoors on Monday isn't possible we will still meet inside JM and go through some housekeeping information.  I will let the boys know ahead of time what the plan is for Monday.  If we practice indoors we will meet near the JM gym door (next to the athletic office) and then find a classroom to conduct our business.  

We know that some people are out of town for some or all of spring break but if you are in town you are expected to be at practice!  If you are going to be out of town, please let us know in advance so we can make changes to our practice plans if necessary.  Come prepared with your racket, tennis-specific tennis shoes if you have them, water, hat/sunglasses, sunscreen, and warm clothes.  Please have your ride at the JM courts to pick you up as soon as practice ends as John and I have plans afterwards that we need to attend.

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 sons to be a part of our team.  We hope you will find that within this team is an environment of sportsmanship, hard work, respect for each other, learning, and fun!
