Dear Student Athletes,

Another year of Colonie High School Tennis is upon us. We will be holding tryouts for the fall season on: Monday, August 17^th; Tuesday, August 18th, and Wednesday, August 19th from 8:30 A.M. - 10:30 A.M. For those selected to be on either the Junior Varsity (should we have enough girls) or Varsity team, practice will continue to be from 8:30 A.M. through 10:30 A.M. on weekdays (on non-match days) until the school year begins. Our first match will be at Mohonasen on Friday, August 28th at 11:00 A.M. (Bus departure will be 9:30 AM from CCHS.) Once the school year begins, practice session times and match information will be posted on our team web site: https://sites.google.com/a/scolonie.org/colonietennis/

If you are a middle school student trying out for the team, please review the link below.

To be eligible to compete, you must complete the "Athletic Placement Process" (Formerly Known as "Selective Classification Process"). Please contact the coach about your eligibility.

After the completion of the parent permission forms, it will be necessary to be evaluated by a certified physical education teacher. This testing will take place on Aug 11^th at 12:00pm. Meet in the PIT (enter via the main entrance of the high school). Typically, only middle school players with USTA match experience would be eligible for the team.

In the event of rain, please check the above web site for any additional information that may be posted about cancellations or rescheduled practice sessions/matches.

Please be prepared for tryouts with a racquet, water bottle, and appropriate attire. If you have a “self-administer” type medication such as an inhaler or Epi-Pen, please be sure to have completed the appropriate form at the heath office and advise the coach of the location of your medicine.

In addition, if you have not already done so, please make sure you have been cleared by the health office prior to tryouts. Turn in your health history and physical forms prior to Aug 12^th at the Sand Creek Middle School Health Office. If you are not cleared, you may not tryout.

It will also be necessary for you to complete the "Pre Try-Out Survey" posted on the home page of the web site. Should you not have internet access, student athletes should request a paper copy of this document on the first day of try-outs.

Sincerely,
