BOYS TENNIS TRYOUTS START FEB. 1

Boys Tennis 2027 Tryouts Start Feb. 1

Tryout week for the 2027 Boys Tennis season -- varsity and JV -- will be Feb. 1-4 from 4-6 p.m. with Feb. 5th as a possible weather makeup day.

Other important reminders:

NEW REGISTRATION WEBSITE: Wando has scrapped the old “Big Teams/Planet High School” website and switched over to “Arbiter” to register athletes. Only athletes cleared on Arbiter will be eligible to play. Here is the all-important registration link:

HEALTH PHYSICALS: Only physicals that were conducted AFTER April 1, 2026, will be considered valid. Players can get inexpensive physicals at any of the standalone walk-in clinics or urgent care centers in our area.

REGISTER ASAP: The process for Wando administrators to view and approve documents is very tedious. Please don’t wait until late January to start or you risk missing tryouts.

SPORTSYOU: Coach Lang uses SportsYou as his primary way to communicate with the team. The join code is SQ365ZJ8. Make sure parents sign up as a "Family" member and players sign up as a "Player." Also, please get the app for your phone and turn on notifications.

FALL/WINTER CHALLENGE: Coach Lang is challenging all prospective team members to play regularly in this period leading up to tryouts -- at least 2-3 times a week to stay in tennis shape and mentally sharp. They should mix in lots of sets and tiebreakers, teaching themselves different ways to win. Competition is key. They shouldn't just be hitting or drilling but playing points. Winning is a mindset. They should get accustomed to it. It should be second nature, an expectation.
