Spartan Girls Tennis enjoys pre-match bonding
Girls Varsity Tennis has been working on team bonding and improving the team dynamic. Now that school is fully back in person, girls tennis have brought back a dress-up week, bond over Kardashian references, and getting coffee.
They played against the SPA Middle School tennis team Sept. 14, building connections and mentorship.
One of my highlights of tennis is when we do team bonding activities like getting Starbucks.
— Leni Nowakowski
Girls Tennis is coached by Jono Martin and led by captains Elizabeth Trevathan and Maggie Fields.
“I love the tennis community because I feel like everyone is so welcoming and we have a tight-knit group,” said junior Leni Nowakowski, “One of my highlights of tennis is when we do team bonding activities like getting Starbucks.”
Players have also started developing goals that they’ve wanted to achieve this season.
Junior Alyssa Ebert said, “A personal goal I have is to continue improving at playing doubles since in years past I play mainly single matches,” Ebert said.
Ebert has been enjoying the tennis season so far. She has gotten the opportunity to bond with her team and overcome challenges that she has approached. “I am enjoying playing against more challenging opponents and the team dynamic is really fun,” said Ebert.
Girls Varsity Tennis’s next meet is at home against Hill-Murray Sept. 29.
