Jason Lemley, West Davidson

We have a no-cut season program here at West Davidson.  Last year we had our highest numbers yet with 32 girls finishing the tennis season.  There were no seniors among those 32 ladies.  I imagine we may lose some to attrition but I think our numbers will probably be equally as high this year.  First practice for freshman will be tomorrow so not quite sure how many of them will come out.  To alleviate crowding on the six courts we have, I run two practices.  Older ladies practice from 9-11 am and younger ladies practice 6-730 in the evening.  When school starts back I will stagger practice times.  Younger ladies will practice from 330-5 with the older ladies practicing 430-630.  This way they are all there for only 30 minutes.  All ladies travel to matches to help build relationships.
