Weekly Competitions after school with Boys Tennis

Everyday after school a group of SJHS boys go to play tennis with Mr. Dahl. According to Ethan Bird, a seventh grader at SJHS, the boys tennis team practice everyday and they play matches against other schools on Mondays and Thursdays. Ethan said, “We play a lot of schools, and it’s always fun.” According to Mr. Dahl, a science teacher at SJHS, and the coach for boys tennis, the team plays all the different junior highs in Nebo School District.

Mr. Dahl said, “I really enjoy tennis because it’s like a personal challenge, when you play something like football or basketball for example it’s a team sport, but in tennis, it’s more about improving your skills on a personal level.” According to Ethan Bird, the kids enjoy having Mr. Dahl as their coach. “He’s super fun,” said Ethan. “The best way to put it is that it is just a lot of fun.” Mr. Dahl said, “I really like interacting with other students outside of a classroom setting, it’s very interesting and is a good change of pace.”
