Varsity Practice

NOAH Varsity Practice to Begin Monday!

 We worked clearing snow from Benedict Park on Saturday and all courts should be ready for practice at 5PM. The weather should be in the 60's so let get ready to work on our strokes! Only two weeks to get ready for our first match with Wagoner. 

 

Thanks to all that helped clear the courts!

Thursday, February 10, 2011

Well, we are into our 2nd week of our 2011 spring practice schedule and the courts at Benedict are still covered with snow!   The weather forecast for Saturday looks like the high will be 45 (41 on Friday) and sunny.  Monday the high is 60. 

 

To make sure that we can practice on Monday, we want to schedule another workday on Saturday at 10:00 AM - 12:00 noon.  We need as many folks as possible (with snow shovels) to come to Benedict.  We are going to remove as much snow as possible from the courts.  If we have enough folks, we’ll move to Tracy and do the same thing for the Intermediates (their practices begin next week). 

 

I will bring my wheelbarrow and if you have one to load up and bring please ping back to me to let me know if you can come and if you will bring a wheelbarrow. 

 

On a different note, below is a request from Coach Byron regarding conditioning while you are snowed in.

 

Thanks!

Tennis Jags!

 

Due to the cold snowy weather we have not be able to practice on the tennis court, however each of you should be spending at least 30 minutes EVERY day working on strength and conditioning.  Tennis is a running sport and if you can't run, you will not beat your opponent, plus it is critical to preventing injuries. 

 

When we are able to get onto the court our drills will consist of a lot more running than in the past, so consider yourself warned!!!  Spending time now getting your body in shape will go a long way towards getting the most out of our shortened practice schedule and being prepared to play your best tennis.

 

Each workout should start with some stretching....this is very important.  Your workouts should be conducted at the same time everyday and work on a different muscle group from the previous two days.  If you have any workout videos at home, now is the time to break them out and get moving.  If you don't have any workout videos, or want to vary your workout routine, below are some suggestions.

 

Jump rope

Push-ups

Sit-ups

Jumping Jacks

Running - (need to run at least 3 miles twice a week)

Pull-ups

Jump from side to side (working on your hip plexers)

 

If you have some weights be sure to not to lift too much weight.  It is better to do more reps slowly with lighter weight than a few reps with heavier weights.  You should strive to perform 3 sets of the same exercise before moving on to the next routine.

 

Your personal strength and conditioning workouts should continue throughout this tennis season and into the summer.  Tennis is a year round sport.

 

See you at practice.  GO JAGS!!!!!
