We decided to wear white tops with purple skirts for this week's scrimmage. Our uniform tops may be in tomorrow, but have your white practice top clean just in case.
For those new to high school tennis, Lancaster High does not have courts at the school. They play at USC Lancaster's facility. They are not the easiest courts to find, but the simplest directions are:
Follow Hwy 9 toward Lancaster and veer south onto Hwy 521. Turn right at the Chevy dealership (Hubbard Dr). After you go through one light but before you get to the main campus, the Gregory Health & Wellness Center is on your left. The courts are tucked behind the facility.
With a GPS, type in: 476 Hubbard Dr. Lancaster SC 29720
- just be on the lookout for the Gregory Health and Wellness Center once you are on Hubbard
Lancaster will have 9 or 10 players available so I will try to get matches for the varsity 7 plus 3 or 4. I will have stuff for everyone else to do during the matches to help out the team. Once the varsity courts clear I'll pair up the remaining girls either against a Lancaster opponent or one of our own players as time permits.
USC Lancaster is one of the nicer facilities to photograph our players in action since the fences at the center are low and unobstructed for #1, #3, #5 singles and #1 doubles. I'm going to bring my camera to get some shots of the girls & I would encourage you to bring yours as well.
We will bus to and from the scrimmage. If a girl wants to ride home with her parents, just let me know so I don't think we lost someone after the match.
We will be off from practice Thursday & Friday since I have to start back at school as well. The girls will be off until Monday's practice. Following our brief practice on Monday will be "Meet the Trojans" night at 7:00 PM in the school's F-Gym. All fall sport athletes will be introduced and we will do a team picture before as well. I'll have the captains decide what we want to wear as a team for the picture and assembly. Dinner is being provided by Papooli's pizza at 6PM so no one should go hungry.
Go Trojans!
