One of our main team fundraisers is right around the corner, but we need players and parents to make it a success!  Our Kowalski’s carryout event is scheduled for Saturday, February 12th, at the Kowalski’s on Lyndale and 54th Ave South. This is the day before the Super Bowl, so we have the potential to raise substantial funds for the team. Check your email for more information and a link to sign up to volunteer! You can also support the team by shopping that day and making a donation…or if you’re a couch shopper, we’re happy to take donations via Venmo: @WashburnBoysTennis

Summer Match Play Opportunities

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

Hi Washburn Tennis Family—

Even though we’re still in season, it’s never too early to be thinking about summer tennis opportunities. Your off-season play is critical to our team’s performance. Please see the attached info about a summer match play program.  The sign-up link is in the attachment—and the deadline is June 4th.  This was a popular program last summer and they ended up with a waiting list, so if you’re interested, sign up soon.  The cost is $30/match (approx. 1.5 hours per match), but if you need financial support, please contact the organizer, Koua Yang (check email for contact information).

Tennis—Quick Season Updates

By | Uncategorized | No Comments
Hi Washburn Tennis Family!
We’re excited to be so close to starting the season!  Weather does appear to be cooperating with us for next week, although we have shifted one tryout day indoors (TeamSnap updated).
—The schedule is basically final in TeamSnap—the Mound Westonka match location may shift to away. Please read the notes sections carefully for each match, particularly when you need to drive to an away match. I have tried to estimate drive times to each away location and added those to the notes. Aim to be at matches 45 minutes prior to start time, unless the coaches advise differently. All distances/drive times calculated from Washburn.
Because weather can be very unpredictable, please set TeamSnap alerts and check the schedule frequently for last-minute cancellations or changes.
Early Release: If it is a school day, students will get an early release 15 minutes prior to you needing to depart. For Washburn students: we will provide the early release information to the Athletic Director’s office. For middle school students: Parents, please check with your school as to how they would like you to alert them of early release. It varies by school. There is no early release for team practice, only matches.
—Below is a link to Washburn’s Spring Sport COVID-19 guidance. Within it is a link to tennis-specific guidance from the MSHSL.  Our understanding is spectators are allowed at matches, but need to remain outside the fence (no bleacher seating). Please plan according…bring chairs/blankets, whatever you prefer to cheer on your Miller. We will let you know if this changes.
