You must tell them in advance and be sure to keep up on your class work. People who say they do not have enough time for tennis are really saying that tennis is number 8 or 10 on their list of priorities.

We play an abbreviated fall season, called the non-traditional season, and the regular season in the spring. The fall season consists of 3 matches and the ITA Tournament.
Weekends are the time when players can get additional help from the coaches and play on their own.
Players play on their own from mid-October until Thanksgiving, indoors at the local club, if necessary. In January, the team captains organize conditioning and arrange for indoor workouts at the club. Official practice starts at the indoor club in early February until we go to Florida during spring break. When we return from spring break, we will play our conference matches and a few non-conference matches. The regular season ends with the North Coast Athletic Conference, late April or early May. 3.
