Lake Braddock Girls Tennis Team 2021
Thank you so much for your interest in our Lake Braddock Girls Varsity Tennis Team!  I wanted to take a moment to introduce our goals and expectations for all tennis players interested in playing for LBGVT this spring!

This year, we will continue to strive for our goals of creating a competitive tennis program with a positive atmosphere where all players have a chance to improve their abilities and build strong, lifelong relationships with other member of our team.  This is my eleventh year coaching tennis at LBSS and I believe we’ve established our Girls Team as one of the most consistently competitive in the area by stressing our goal of getting better every day.  We concentrate on building and enhancing your skills, athleticism, determination, and desire while maintaining our reputation as a team that competes and battles in every match while upholding the highest levels of sportsmanship.  I believe this is the core of any excellent team and the fundamentals of a successful life outside of tennis.

The tryouts process is slightly different this year with a centralized online system of registration including all of the required paperwork.  Please review this website immediately so that you can be ready for tryouts in April and for any workouts we plan in March.  If you are currently participating in a fall sport at LBSS, you’ll still need to pick up a tryout card from the Athletic Trainer before tryouts.

In addition to this registration process, I’ll ask you to please complete the following two Google Forms to provide me with contact information about you and your parents:

Because we have a shortened season this year, I strongly believe that the teams that come into tryouts the most prepared will have an excellent chance of winning District, Regional, and even State titles.  With this in mind, I encourage you all to get outside to work on your fitness and hit the courts to improve your skills.  Although we don’t have any scheduled off-season workouts right now, the courts are always available as long as you take the necessary Covid precautions and your parents approve of it. 

Finally, if you have the desire to improve your game quickly, I believe nothing has a greater impact on your skills than lessons with a qualified tennis teaching professional.   I have included a list of local tennis clubs and professional instructors below who offer both group lessons and individual lessons for aspiring high school tennis players.  Also, there is no better preparation for our tennis season than to play in tournaments  - ask your instructor or tennis professional if they host junior tournaments – many clubs in the area have tournaments year-round that can help you get match experience before the tennis season. 

Good luck and please keep in touch!
