I have been given the opportunity to coach both the Boys and Girls Hixson High School Tennis Teams. Hixson Tennis has a rich tradition, and I am committed to getting both these teams competitive again. I run a no-cut program, and I will do my best to ensure that everyone learns the foundations of a sport they will likely play for a lifetime. More importantly, I will strive to teach these boys and girls about integrity, honesty and character.

Welcome to the New Hixson High School Tennis Blog!

Hey Folks,

I thought instead of boring you all with periodic emails, I'd carve out a little niche for us here in the blogosphere. I'll be posting stuff here throughout the year in order help keep everyone informed of what's going on with the Hixson High School Tennis Teams. Let's get started, shall we?

The season kicks off in full gear this week with matches scheduled for Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Looking at the extended forecast, it looks like we should be fine on M & T, but it looks bad for Thursday-- hopefully that will change between now and then.

As for the uniforms, I apologize. I think the girls are getting theirs in on Monday (fingers crossed!) and hopefully the boys will too. I ordered the boys' uniforms at the beginning of the month, but there was a slight mix up between the the school's accountant and the company we ordered the uniforms from. Long story short, Mrs. Carr just sent them a copy of our Purchase Order via Fax on Friday morning, so the uniforms were still sitting in California as of Friday. We asked for expedited shipping, but who knows with the weekend. If all else fails, we are just going to wear the Hixson Tennis T-Shirts that I've given everybody. The boys can wear black shorts and the girls a black or white skirt.

Well, that is all for now. Hope to see you at the matches this week! And as always, I welcome any comments or questions.
