Article: Girls Tennis

Girls tennis is one of the many sports that we have here at Springville Jr high. Mr. Dahl a science teacher here at Springville Jr high is also the tennis coach. Each year he has tryouts which are two days long and he looks for the best girls there. And the next day everyone who tried out come to his classroom and  he will tell you if you made the team or if you didn’t and if you made call backs. If you get a callback you go to the tennis courts after school one day and you play a mini tournament. You play other girls who also, got a call back and  whoever has the most wins makes the team.

Mazie Schoolfield, a ninth grader, has been on the tennis team for all three years of jr high and she said “Tennis is so fun I love playing it and I love the coach.” Mazie is planning on trying out for the high school tennis team next year. Paige Simpson, another ninth grader, has been on the team for two years, said” We are going to try our hardest to to get first.” She also loves play tennis and is also planning on trying out for the high school team next year. Ellie Espllin, a seventh grader, who is on the tennis team said, “ This is my first year playing and I am glad I made the team.”

Coach Dahl had been playing tennis ever since he was nine years old. We asked him why he liked playing tennis and he said “ I don’t really like team sports.” In tennis you only one person on your team or you don’t have anyone so that is why he likes tennis. We also asked him about this tennis season and if it will go well. He said that he thinks that this season will be really good.
