Coach's Corner
Dear tennis players/parents,
I never would have dreamed that, when we left for Spring Break, our season/school year would be so abruptly reduced. As we stand right now, all remaining tournaments except for District, Regionals, and State have been canceled. District dates will be later than originally planned and I will share those dates when they are available. We cannot have organized team practices until school resumes, but I encourage each of you to continue keeping yourself in good playing shape as well as you safely can.
I have been asked about whether or not we will still be having our spring fundraiser. The answer is yes. However it will be modified. The website is already live and taking orders. Here are our altered plans:
- With our altered schedule we will not have as long to sell, and our expenses are reduced as well. So we are reducing our goal from 15 flats per player to 8 (obviously if you can sell more that would be awesome!)
- With the current Covid 19 situation WE DO NOT WANT ANYONE GOING DOOR TO DOOR TO SELL. Fortunately our boosters have set up a wonderful online system where people can receive an e-mail or text message link and order online without the need of person to person contact. NOTE: Please make sure the link is only sent to local customers.
- Payment will be ONLINE ONLY. (NO COLLECTION OF CASH/CHECKS)
We have carefully considered the current situation in regards to our fundraising efforts. We do not want to put ANYONE at risk of exposure to the virus. If we had not developed the online platform for sales we would not proceed with this event at all. Since we actually went live with orders prior to the school closure and some customers have been contacting me wanting to order, we have chosen to proceed with the online option ONLY and reduced goals. Please take a few moments over the next week to email or text customers from our previous sale. All orders need to be submitted by April 8 and delivery will be on April 18. I remain optimistic that we will resume normal activity long before April 18th, but if we are still being advised that we should not be in social gatherings at that point NO PLAYERS WILL BE ASKED TO PUT THEMSELVES AT RISK WITH THE FLOWER DELIVERY. We will have a group of adult volunteers that will take care of the distribution.
Please take care of yourselves and I hope we see each other again soon!
Coach Foster
