The tennis teams have morning conditioning every Tuesday and Thursday at 6:00 a.m. in the morning, and so far, at least four conditioning practices have been cancelled due to bad weather. The weather that has prevented the teams from having conditioning includes snow, ice, and extreme cold.

Outside of the snow day cancellations, Coach Michael Teets has also had to cancel one workout session for temperatures as low as -2 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • “We really need better weather so we can continue getting fit for the upcoming season,” said Jacob Hebib, 10.
  • “It’s too bad the bad weather always seems to happen on conditioning days. Hopefully it clears up,” said Regis Liou, 9.

I love watching tennis, and keeping up with the Reds. I also love writing opinion articles. Last year, I wrote a few opinion pieces on things that happen in our school such as ACE, exams, and MAP testing. You can follow me on Twitter @jackoloon14, and on Instagram @jackoloon.
