[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Congrats on him making it to the team. What school?

What is he playing? How much does he want to improve? Meaning, is he playing 2nd Doubles but has dreams to play 2nd Singles next year? Is he okay playing his position?[/quote]

Thank you! So far, ok playing doubles but dont know what the next season brings. Question still is should we try to pursue a year-long training?[/quote]
I would say it depends on what he wants out of it. Does his school have a strong tennis team(thinking along the likes of a Wootton?) If so, the competition is fierce so he needs to keep improving to keep his spot.

Is he playing at a school where tennis is not so important? Is he playing first doubles or third? Is he okay with being good enough to play doubles on his high school team?

Does he have time to pursue year round training?

It sounds like tennis is his secondary sport. A reason to pursue year round training is he will be able to play tennis much longer than he most likely will soccer. But if he doesn’t have time for year round training on top of club soccer and schoolwork and he is okay with playing doubles, I’d not push the year round training.[/quote]

The school tennis team is strong, but so far happy to play doubles as the decision to tryout was made over winter. I was thinking track would be the direction, and was encouraging it.[/quote]
