Tennis

My sophomore year of high school I did not have a ride home from school. Every day after school I would wait around and do homework until my mom came to pick me up around 4:30. My friend Krista told me I could come with her to tennis practice after school. Before my friend told me this, I didn’t even know our school had a team. I figured the coach would not like it if I came after school, but Krista said she would not mind. The next day it happened to be raining. You cannot play on tennis courts when they are wet. You could get seriously injured from slipping and sliding. The coach hated cancelling practice so she took the team out to the wresting annex. In the annex was a small T.V with Zumba on the screen. The tennis girls cheered when they saw what was on the T.V, so I figured they must have done this before. For about an hour long we all danced Zumba moves. I had so much fun the first day that I came back after school the next day as well. It ended up being just as fun as the day before. After a long practice the coach took the girls on a “polar pop run.” This meant they all lined up in a row and ran to Circle K to get polar pops. Then they walked back. The coach said this was great because it gave the girls a reason to run and they enjoyed doing it. My sophomore year they named me the official ball girl of their team and my junior year I went out for tennis. I am so incredibly glad that my friend Krista told me about Archbold tennis.
