Get ready for the 2024-2025 season!! Tennis tryouts begin on Monday, July 29 at 8am at the Reagan High School tennis courts. Bring your physical to provide to Coach Garner, plenty of water and tennis gear. A physical must be provided prior to participating in tryouts. Currrent tryouts schedule:
Monday, July 29: 8-11:30am
Tuesday – Thursday (July 30- August 1): start at 8am and will plan to end before 3pm
Specific details:
Tryouts will include mostly singles matches featuring best 2 out of 3 sets, no-ad scoring, with a super tiebreak in lieu of the 3rd set. It is recommended (but not limited) for the 2024-2025 school year that boys have no lower than a 4.0 UTR and girls have no lower than a 3.0 UTR. Those who make the varsity team will begin practice and playing team matches almost immediately for the 2024 Fall Team season. Please note that simply trying out for the varsity team and not making it does NOT assure one a spot on the JV-A team. Coach Garner is looking for players who excel on the court not just in their match scores, but also in how they conduct themselves win or lose, on the potential of their tennis abilities, and on the intangible of how they fit into a team.
For the 2024-2025 school year, the Reagan Tennis Team will again feature three different levels of teams: a varsity team (which will consist of the top 10-12 boys and top 10-12 girls for a maximum of the top 24 players at Reagan High School); a JV-A (Junior Varsity traditional which will consist of the next tier of 10-12 boys and 10-12 girls for a middle competitive team with another maximum of 24 players); and a JV-B (a second Junior Varsity team that will be more developmental in nature and geared more toward players who are freshmen and sophomores, but it will consist of the next tier of 10-12 boys and 10-12 girls for another maximum of 24 players). The varsity team is expected to compete at the highest levels within the state of Texas, while the other two teams should be developing toward that capacity.
Both the JV-A and JV-B tryouts will be conducted during the first three weeks of the 2024-2025 school year. A schedule will be released on the first day of school that designates what days certain players will be trying out. These schedules will include some activities during both 7th and 8th periods.
