RIGHT NOW I LIKE …

I like that so many players came ready for the season on Day 1. We have players who have worked long and hard in the off-season and it shows.

RIGHT NOW WE NEED TO IMPROVE …

Consistency of serves

LEAGUE FAVORITE

Chillicothe

ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO SAY ABOUT TEAM …

This team has excellent chemistry. We don’t have any superstars, but we have good tennis players up and down the courts. I’ve never had this many players with solid fundamentals on the first day of the season, a testament to a lot of hard work in the off-season and our excellent youth program.
