MON WED FRI 6 AM OR BUST!

That's right tennis psycho enthusiasts! Jake Guyman, MMHS Tennis Club President, says 6 in the morning so if you don't like getting up that early take it up with him!

I am all for an after school hour if anyone wants to voice opinion on the matter leave me a comment below.

Meanwhile I will buck up and be at SF indoor courts each morning MWF til dead period starting 1 November.

Nelson Whiting is back for a day or two on break from playing college tennis at Mesa and will be with us to train us up in the morning.

Call Jake with your questions and ideas for club activities!
