The Amazing SJHS Girls Tennis Team

Tennis is one of the many sports that Springville Junior High offers. There are two teams, one for the girls, and one for the boys.  Mr. Dahl is the girls’ tennis team coach.  The girls’ season for tennis is August through October, where as the boys season is during the spring. 

According to Mr. Dahl, there are tryouts that the girls must go to in order to join the team. Participants in the tryouts can make several different teams. The teams are varsity, junior varsity, and the B team. Only girls on the varsity and junior varsity teams will be able to compete in matches, but the B team is welcome to come and practice with them.

Practices are after school from three to five. They also have matches after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There are two district tournaments that players will compete in. Sarah Christensen, a ninth grader at SJHS, said, “I like it when you hit the ball over the net and make it in.”

According to Tiana Taala, another ninth grader at SJHS, tennis is a great way to meet new people, and it’s also a fun way to play a sport she loves. We wish the SJHS tennis team luck and hope they do well this year.
