Sylvan Hills High School is seeking 9th- through 12th-grade boys for the Tennis Team. Season is Aug 11-Oct 8. If you play other sports and are off-season when school starts, this might be a great sport to keep you in shape, work on your footwork, hand speed, cardio, and endurance, and have a great time with friends. Practices are held during the summer, from 7 am to 9 am, Monday through Thursday, so you can still work, practice with the band, or get in some weight training for baseball or basketball. Contact Coach Allison Harper aharper4641@pcssd.org for more information.
