Unforetunately, you won't be able to get anything going soon. Once your athletic director allows a sport they must get permission from the state's sporting government... technical details will include conference alignment, scheduling, etc. I think Title IX comes into play too. Good luck with...

To the OP, you should definately play doubles especially if that is what you prefer. Once to get to the state tourney you'll find good competition. It's a lot easier to get to state in doubs than singles. If you can get the same partner for two years in a row, GO FOR IT. That's one less...

In a subsectional match (hs tennis) my partner and I lost the first set 4-6. In the second set we were down 6-7 in the tiebreaker. We won it 9-7 and then took the third set 6-4. BIGGEST comeback of my life... the only time I've overcome a match point and win.

Manfred is right. Unless you are absolutely 100% that you are gonna go pro, don't pick a college just for tennis. Get an education and earn money with a more realistic(although not as fun) job

I see what you guys are getting at, but I don't think any average Joe would give a s*** about American tennis. I'm a die hard tennis lover, but I don't see the point. Tennis is an individual sport. AMERICAN TENNIS IS NOT THAT BAD. It may not be the best, but it surely isn't the worst. We have...

Why do the use the same racquets? Is it an advertising strategy or are they just that similar to each other? I mean, I know they're twins but...

How about Nelson Vick from Milwaukee Marquette? He's got two more years of hs ball and he's in the national top 10. What are his chances of playing at a big D1 school?

How do you have a 4.9? Does that mean you take all weighted classes? My gpa is 4.3 and I've only gotten 1 B+. (f'in Foods and Nutrition for crying out loud!!! I thought it was a blowoff class, but it wasn't. :shock:) Anyways, I think some of the top colleges look at you schedule rather than...

Are you talking about full scholarships? I don't think you can get one unless you're a big time junior. With your sectional ranking, I'd say you could probably get a partial scholarship to D1 or D2. If you play in D3 or at a private school, don't expect to get any money. Unless you're...

Just got it a few hours ago... IT'S SO FREAKIN HARD TO LEARN!!! But I'm sure I'll get used to it. I need more practice and that means more game time. :)

Well I moved from pp to platform and I did have to change my toss. Basically I can toss the ball anywhere near me and get a "decent" serve in. But to get the same kind of serve you (and I) have to make a few adjustments.

To the OP: Yes you are correct. There's something in physics that makes you spin faster with your arms tucked in. That's why you see ice skaters pull them in to make a tough spin... wow I can't believe I remembered a little from my class! It's called centripetal acceleration I think. :shock...

I love playing as the "pusher". I have decent groundstrokes on both sides, but it's A LOT more fun to hit underspin on every shot. Surely every one of you could tear me apart... :twisted: but I play in Wisconsin. :shock: I love seeing people crumble against my weak version of tennis. If you...

drunk too big or too small

Bush is a decent president... he's not the worst (Ronald Reagan maybe?). He won the election for some reason. Maybe it was fate or a miscount. :shock::shock::shock: The incident in Florida was a JOKE! From what I heard and read back then, voters had difficulty looking at the ballot and filling...
