Ms. Atchley will be coaching the Carter Tennis team beginning in the early portion of the Spring semester.
The Carter Tennis team is just one of the teams we have at Carter and students have the opportunity to join this upcoming Spring semester. Ms. Atchley is the tennis coach and she says, “We have tryouts the second week of February. We will have “open courts” in the fall.” Open courts are pre-season workouts. The Carter Tennis teams welcomes everyone to join, according to Teddi Appleberry, a sophomore who was on the team last year and plans to be on the team this year, “I believe that our school should know that our team consists of people who are brand new and those who have had a couple years of practice. Since it is such a wide range, anyone and everyone is welcome to come join our fun on the court.” It’s good for people to know that they can join no matter who they are.
Some more insight on the team members and practices is listed by Teddi Appleberry and by Ms. Atchley. Teddi Appleberry states this about team members’ qualities, “In my experience, my teammates have been humorous, and kind. As a team, we always help each other to be better, but we also make practice fun for everyone. No one is excluded, nor are they expected to be perfect. After all, we are a team.” and Ms. Atchley also states this about team members, “Fun, determined, responsible, friendly, positive”. These qualities are all great for an amazing and cooperative team. According to Teddi Appleberry this is what a practice looks like, “Normally during practice, we stretch and run a couple laps for warm ups. After that, we practice our serving, forehands, backhands, and volleying. We also hit some balls from the ball machine, and sometimes play matches against each other. There is also this game that we play called “King of the Court”. This game helps us to better learn the ways of our teammates, when on the court.” Remember practice makes perfect so students wanting to join will endure this kind of practice printed above.
Let’s make this Carter Tennis season a spectacular one, GO HORNETS!!!!
