MICHIGAN HIGH SCHOOL
TENNIS COACHES
ASSOCIATION

High School Tennis Coaches:

We are pleased to announce that you may now register for January's Michigan Tennis Workshop!

Jorge Capestany will again host our Workshop at the DeWitt Tennis Center in Holland on Friday, January 28th and Saturday, January 29th. This has distinct advantages beyond the fact that sessions will be presented on an actual tennis court. If you aren't already aware, Jorge is known and respected internationally, and we are thankful that he is again one of our featured presenters.

Jorge has used his contacts to help us secure some of the most-requested speakers on the speaking circuit, highlighted by the ever-popular and charismatic Greg Patton. Greg will conduct both an on-court and off-court presentation for us. Classroom sessions are held at the nearby Haworth Inn and Conference Center.

We have found in recent years that coaches typically find online deals for hotel rooms rather than stay at a Workshop hotel. Therefore, on the registration form we've highlighted three hotels that have been our partners in the past, but there are several hotels within easy driving distance of the Workshop.

Please be aware that the entire DeWitt Tennis facility is dedicated to our group on Friday, January 28th. In addition, Friday lunch is included, but be sure to mark your sandwich selection on the registration form.

The banquet room at the Haworth Inn and Conference Center will be the site for the Hall of Fame induction banquet on Friday night.

It's easy to register online by clicking on Jorge's link below. Follow the prompts, or there is an internal link to download and print a PDF document to mail in.

Please pass this email on to tennis colleagues in your conference or area.

Tennis Reporting

Coaches will again be required to report their team scores on tennisreporting.com. It is still free to the school. See your AD for info on how to login.

Parents, players, etc. can also register on tennisreporting.com for a fee of $10.00 for the year (365 days). This will allow them to check on matches, players, etc.

There a number of 'new' things that should make this easier for coaches to use:

• Matches

  • the home coach enters the scores of the match

  • these scores are then sent to the other coach(es) and if okay, he/she approves

  • if not, it gets sent back to home coach for corrections (comments can be added)

  • once both (all) have approved the scores, the match is recorded and can not be changed

  Post Season (Regionals & Finals)

• Coaches can use tennisreporting.com to enter Regional lineup at anytime up to deadline

• Players scores (past & future - up to deadline) will automatically be updated on the Regional lineup

• Lineup can be changed at any time - up to deadline

• Other coaches/schools can not see the lineup until after the deadline

• Entries will be automatically sent to Regional Host after the deadline

• Regional and Final results may be 'live'.

  • This will depend on if there is someone at the event to enter the scores.

  • There will be no cost to parents, players, etc. for this feature

COACHES

A couple of items that the MHSAA's Rep Council passed that you should be aware of:

• The Final tournament will be played on Friday and Saturday unless there are conflicts with the host facility, in which case the tournament location with the conflict would be scheduled for Thursday and Friday

• Host schools may schedule Regionals on any day, Wednesday through Saturday, during the week of Regionals. Regionals currently take place Thursday through Saturday

MORE FUNDS NEEDED FOR HALL OF FAME

The creation and development of such an energetic project plus the maintenance of it has not been without difficulty, particularly in the funding of the undertaking. We have been able to collect some contributions from different sources within our association and from donors in several tennis communities. However, there is still a definite need for more funds to defray the expenses of this entire endeavor. If you are able to contribute any finances individually or as a group, click on the button below.
