Pros Cons
Tennis players here at BHS get the opportunity to go to the Hilton Head Tennis Resort in South Carolina and spend the week training and sightseeing. | The season is just too short. We hardly even get two months to play. We also can’t play in the rain. |
We have an extra large team here at BHS with more than 60 girls so there’s no shortage of matches. | There’s not enough courtspace at BHS for the JV team to all play matches against one another (even doubles!). |
During the summer, you spend the whole season outside so a tan is guaranteed. | You won’t just tan a little; you tan a ton. And the tan lines you get from your shoes are just hideous. |
We always have super cute uniforms, and it’s always fun seeing other teams’ uniforms. | In the 2017-2018 girls’ season, our JV team skirts didn’t come with spandex so we all had to buy our own. |
Playing a match or even just rallying is a great stress reliever. | It’s all fun and games until you get hit by a ball, whether it’s in the face by miscalculating an overhead or a volley, getting pegged by the other team, or getting hit from behind by your own teammate (Talk about betrayal). |
