Boys Tennis Sign-Up (Grades 7-8)
Spring 2025 Season Starting March 17 ( Sign-Up Deadline is 11:59pm March 2)
This is the invitation and opportunity for boys in grades 7-8 to sign up and try out for the high school boys tennis team (grades 9-12 will sign-up separately in person at the high school). The team will be capped at 24 players (grades 7-12 combined). If we reach that cap by the deadline, late entries will not be accepted. If we do not reach the cap by the deadline, we will accept late entries until we reach 24. If we have more than 24 sign up before the deadline, we will reduce the team down to 24 during the first week of practice (there will be a tryout process, so making the team is not a guarantee). Boys who try out should have some prior exposure to the sport of tennis (have some basic skills and know the basic rules of the game) and must have a serious interest in playing tennis. They should also be committed to being at almost all practices and competitions (90% attendance is expected).
To sign up, email your son's name and grade to Coach Brian Dobbs at brian.dobbs@k12.sd.us. You will get a reply on March 3 with attachments containing the schedule, physical form, and the BHS tennis handbook which contains a variety of information that should answer any questions you might have.
Brookings School District will have a 2-hour late start on Wednesday, February 19, 2025. Please note, it will still be an early release Wednesday as usual. Stay safe and warm!
Reminder that MMS and BHS have school Friday, February 14th. Buses will be arriving earlier than usual since elementary does not have school.
No School Reminder: Brookings School District will be closed Monday, February 17th for Presidents' Day.
