TENNIS TRYOUTS
Tryouts for those not currently in a tennis class will be held after school on Thursday, April 27th. We will start promptly at 4:15. The tryout should be over by 5:15. Parents should be there by 5, just in case we finish early.
Students trying out must have a physical on file. Each individual will be asked to perform serves, forehands, backhands and volleys. Please wear athletic clothes/shoes and bring a racket and water bottle. We do have a couple of extra rackets, but it is ideal for you to have your own.
This tryout is to get you placed into a tennis class for the 23-24 school year. There are only two sections (7th and 8th period) and space is limited, so you must try out to get in.
Those currently enrolled in a tennis class will complete tryout skills during the class period. This does include those in the 6th Grade pre-ath classes.
EVERYONE wanting to be in tennis for the 23-24 school year must complete the google form signup.
A Mandatory Tryout Meeting will be held for athletes on Thursday April 20, 2023, at 7:30 a.m. in Room 309.
Note: The meeting is mandatory. Please communicate in advance if you are out due to illness or other important reasons.
Also, please join the LBMS TENNIS SportsYou. Instructions are in the graphic below.
**The expectations for this athletic period are high. You will be required to participate and dress out EVERY day.
If you have any questions, please reach out to me.
Go Pirates!

BUSINESSES TO THE EAST OF LBMS
1. Please don't use their lots as a place for student pick-up or drop-off.
2. If your student isn't going to be a paying customer, they do not need to be there for the sake of hanging out or waiting for a ride.
Let's do our part as a Pirate community to help these businesses out.
NO OUTSIDE DELIVERY FOR STUDENT LUNCHES
Parents/Guardians may bring a lunch for their students. Lunches can be dropped off in the front office and students will be allowed to pick-up their food when they are dismissed for lunch.
**Due to security concerns, no outside entity (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Favor, Pizza delivery, Chick-Fil-A, etc.) will be allowed to drop off lunches for students.
