In addition to Mitch’s instructional sessions, interested developmental players who demonstrate the necessary skill level will have opportunities to practice with junior varsity members of the high school’s traveling team and even play in matches against other schools.  Those players in the developmental program who wish to earn credit for one quarter of Physical Education must keep a record of their hours of participation on an Option II PE Log (//bigteams-public-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/siteRepository/6006/userfiles/Tennis/Option-II-PE-Log.pdf) and accumulate at least 25 hours by the end of the developmental program.  Mitch will sign the logs as the instructor in the developmental program. 

According to school policy, students may participate in a sport only if the school nurse and Athletic Department have cleared them for participation.  Before being cleared for the developmental tennis program, you must complete the online registration process for fall sports at www.haddonfieldathletics.org (the registration link is located on the right side of the athletics website), submit the required medical forms to the school nurse, and take the ImPACT Concussion Baseline Test (//bigteams-public-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/siteRepository/6006/userfiles/Tennis/ImPact-letter.pdf).  Because the developmental program will begin on Tuesday, September 12, girls who wish to join the program should immediately take the necessary steps to be cleared.  If you encounter any technical problems in the registration process, Mr. Banos (lbanos@haddonfield.k12.nj.us), our Athletic Director, can assist you.  Also, if you intend to join the developmental program, please fill out and email back to Coach Holman (jholman@haddonfield.k12.nj.us) the attached Developmental Tennis Program Signup Form as soon as possible (//bigteams-public-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/siteRepository/6006/userfiles/Tennis/Developmental-Tennis-Program-Signup-Form.docx).
