Gold Club important for Sycamore tennis

Every year on the tennis teams, there is a system called Gold Club, to show how much each team member plays (tennis) throughout the off season.

Players can earn Gold Club points in many ways: “A” on a report card, going to morning conditioning, doing clinics, doing lessons, playing in tournaments, etc.

Every Sunday, team members email coach Michael Teets what they have done throughout the week, and then he adds them to their points.

Recently, he released the gold club rankings, so that players can see how they compare to their team members as far as playing time.

The more points you have, the more likely it is you will make the team. Teets has said several times that “If two players are equal and I have to cut one of them from the team, I will almost always keep the one with the most Gold Club points.”

My name is Jack Loon, and I am a sophomore on the SHS Leaf Staff. This is my second year on staff and I love being a part of the student voice. One of my favorite things to write about is tennis. I play for the school team, who is one of the top ranked in the state. Last year, our A team was first in the state, our B team won the Sycamore Cup, and our JV team went undefeated. 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.
