We won't have practice on Thursday, May 12th. Mr. Hagstrom will not be at school that day.
Erwin's coach and I are working on setting up a second match during the 2nd week of May - aiming for Tuesday, May 10th or Wednesday, May 11th. We're looking into both Loveland and Thompson Valley High Schools for an open afternoon. Will keep you posted.
Regards,
Mr. Hagstrom

Practice Update - Thursday, April 28
Since we are the combined Reed - Ball team, we don't have a scrimmage this week. At the season's outset, before the teams combined, there was a scrimmage set at Bertoud High School between the two schools. We'll practice on our Plaza at Reed as usual.
Thank you,
Mr. Hagstrom
Parents: Please, try to remind your student to come to school with footwear to play tennis in. I'm getting a few students in flip flops and that's not adequate for tennis. I imagine I can't let unprepared students play, and missing practice for lack of shoes, would be an unexcused absence.

Morning Announcement for Friday, April 22 Reed vs. Clark Scrimage Results
Congratulations Reed Tennis Players on your first effort. We witnessed a lot of good things on the courts today and we are proud of you as players and a team. It's great how you supported each other positively and competed with your hearts. It's a sign of more good things to come.
Here are our match highlights:
Our varsity no. 2 doubles boys team of Andrew VerSteeg and Brett Corona won a 17 game, hour and a half match, persisting through many advantage games, to win 9-8.
It was a great match to watch and wonderful how Andrew and Brett kept their poise to the finish.
The score was turned slightly around for our girls, Lizbeth Villalobos and Kaylee Speer, who also went on to play to the tie breaking 17th game, but finally lost to Clark no. 3 varsity doubles team, 8-9 games. Great effort girls!
Other bright spots:
Ivy Ryan & Breanna Dykstra solidy took the JV Doubles no.1 match 7 games to 2 while
Giedre Kisieliute and Savannah Erickson also were victorious in their match 5-4. Ivy and Breanna have qualified to move up to varsity for Friday's matches.
We are proud of how all of you gave your best effort and represented Reed with hard work in the game, spirit and being supportive of your team mates. It's a fine thing keeping chins up even when matches didn't go our way.
Remember that today's matches against Erwin are at Loveland High School at 3:30.
Stop by Mr. Hagstrom's room, 208, to view the assignments for this afternoon.

V3: Kaylee Speer
VD4-5: Susan Albin and Lizbeth Villalobos
VD6-7: Maria Montanez and Jordan Guerra

And our guys - Match - ups will depend on Erwin's team size. Clark allowed our singles players to also play doubles because of our small guys squad. If Erwin has a full 9 man varsity, then I'll imagine they will let us double up again.
Here's the scenario if guys may double up:
V1: Sam Hecker
V2: Andrew VerSteeg
V3: Brett Corona
VD1: Andrew VerSteeg & Brett Corona
VD2: Tim Klotsch & Eric Garcia

Reed vs. Clark - Post Scrimmage Notes
Congratulations on your first effort. We witnessed a lot of good things on the courts today and we are proud of you as players and a team. It's great how you supported each other positively and competed with your hearts. It's a sign of more good things to come.
Here are our match highlights: Morning Announcement
Other things to be aware of:
I'm especially content with your efforts after learning this afternoon that the Clark players practice on the Thompson Valley tennis courts everyday, while we have trained everyday without courts and on our school's plaza with half size nets; and we have in fact only had the opportunity to set foot on real courts for 2 practices. But just as Brazilians can play football on the crowded streets between high rises, or in dirt lots, or on little patches of land and against walls, we can develop on the facilities we have.
It's probably fair to say we are at some disadvantage in the place of our training, but I believe you played competitively when you were matched against players of similar experience. Part of me feels a need to apologize to those of you who have only held a racquet for several weeks and went up against rivals who had years of experience, as was the case particularly for our varsity girls.
Nevertheless, I appreciate the way you stuck to the match, concentrated, and earned points and won games over opponents in some cases with years more experience playing. You should definitely not feel disappointed in yourselves for having been placed in that circumstance. Consider it merely a learning experience to help you set goals and thank you for having been so courteous, even when such matchings probably don't make truly fair competitions.
I'll work on seeing that you have matches where you are better aligned with players with more similar levels of experience. We have a lot of players with talent and heart, but that alone cannot normally set you up to win against someone with years more experience than you.
So thank you and great job! See you tomorrow for our game against Erwin at Loveland High School at 3:30. I'll be setting the teams later tonight
Respectfully yours,
Mr. Hagstrom

Update on Games This Week
Remember that our game against Walt Clark at Thompson Valley was postponed last week. So we have our first two matches this week!
Matches begin at 3:30, so you need to arrive by 3:15. If you're there a bit early, there's a good chance you can warm up on a court.
Here is the schedule:
Thursday against Walt Clark at TVHS at 3:30 (arrive between 3:00 and 3:15).
Friday against Ewrin at Loveland H.S. at 3:30 (again arrive by 3:15).
Remember to bring water!
Don't forget to wear your Reed Tennis Shirt. If you haven't payed for the shirt - it is a team jersey, and you may be asked to lend it to another player.
Our player line up for Thursday will be the same as last week - unless a player has been suspended from game play due to absences, etc. I believe I will have a modified line up for Friday - probably to be sure all girls have experience playing doubles as well.
Note: The match on April 26 is at Bertoud H.S. But it is Reed vs. Ball - but we are a Reed/Ball squad, so we won't go to Bertoud. Thus, no games next week.
Remember to know your game schedule. Here's a link if you need it:
Tennis Spring Schedule
We have no schedule for Saturday, May 14th yet.
Note: Recall that there are attendance requirements to play at games. Not meeting practice requirements makes you ineligible to play games unless exceptions are made in special cases. Generally, exceptions won't be made unless there are sound reasons for the absence and your playing is beneficial first to the team, rather than to the individual. Poor attendance is also grounds to suspend a player or remove him/her from the team. We want everyone to play, but this is a team sport that requires your commitment. If you cannot make that commitment, please don't expect to remain on the team.

Awesome Practice
Tennis was awesome today. We had only a small crew who made it here today after the postponed game. Remember, practice is not cancelled unless we specifically let you know. We covered paperwork, t-shirts, scoring and strategies of position in my classroom 208. Then we went to the gym for a full sized court and played champs vs. challengers with changing teams. That was a lot of fun. Thank you for those who made it today - your dedication is much appreciated.
Mr. Hagstrom
Mr. Hagstrom
Tennis on Thursday, April 14
Yes, we are still having practice. We're going to take advantage of the foul (tennis) weather to go over rules, paperwork, and a bit of strategy.
Come dressed out, because we should have the gym to ourselves for some indoor skill fun.
Thank you,
