TENNIS

The McAnally tennis season is in the spring 2027, with regular practices and a full slate of district matches starting in February and running through early April.  Tryouts will be held in early February for tennis.  Details will be provided in January 2027.  Tennis is for 7th and 8th grade students only.

There will be "off-season" fall tennis for 6 weeks to help prepare students for the spring season and to become familiar with the tennis program. There will be practices in the mornings before school several days a week during September and October, and there may be 1 or 2 scrimmages against other schools. 

There will be no cuts in the fall off-season.   Depending on numbers, there may be cuts in the spring.   

7th and 8th Girls and Boys will have their first off-season practice on Wed September 9th at 7:00 am at the MMS tennis courts. 

Students should bring tennis rackets and water to the first practice.

The students need to have the following completed before trying out:

1.   A completed physical

2.    All Rank One documentation completed.     https://aledoisd.rankone.com/New/NewInstructionsPage.aspx

Both 7th and 8th Graders must have an updated physical each calendar year!

Email completed physical/medical history paperwork to Jo Castillo, AT, jcastillo@aledoisd.org

If you have any questions about the physical or Rank One, please contact Jo Castillo at JCastillo@aledoisd.org

Students who would like to tryout for the spring team are not required to play in the "off season" for tennis. 

Football players, cross-country runners and Volleyball players will find that there would be a lot of conflicts schedule wise and may find it too difficult to also play tennis in the fall.   But since tennis is "off-season" in the fall, football players, cross-country runners, and volleyball players are welcome to come to the courts to practice tennis in the fall, even for just a practice or two.
